Use electrical tape to keep in a roll. Soft enuff to nestle any rifle. If the curtain is too big (long) cut it off and START the roll up with the cut end. . If you can't afford SAND>>>>old curtains work. jwall- * 3100 guy* A Flat Trajectory is Never a Handicap Speed is Trajectory's Friend !!

I've got all sorts of front rests including some high end bench rest models but the Bulls Bag is my favorite especially when sighting in thin barreled hunting rifles.

How much hunting do you do and if so, do you use your bi-pod?? I'm going to assume you don't use your sand bag while out hunting...

This ^^^^ guy said "After load work up is done I pull the bipod and confirm zero off sand bags".... My question do you shoot a 3 or 5 shot group to confirm zero? And I look forward to your hunting resume as well.. Last edited by 79S; 08/29/15. Originally Posted by Bricktop Then STFU.
