It adds so much to my stability yet need something that is relatively light weight. I appreciate any suggestions. MTSmith

The guy rattled off alternate fill material and how to get it in there. http://www.dog-gone-good.com/ Here he is talking his really big bench shooting bags Quote Bag Filler Bags can be shipped empty, or filled at the factory for a small fee. Filled bags also require an extra $5 packaging fee. The bags can be filled with polypropylene regrind which can be found where plastic is recycled (check yellow pages under lastic). Large bags will weigh about 22 lbs., medium bags about 13 lbs, small bags will weigh about 10 lbs. Ground walnut tumbling media will weigh about the same as polypropylene. Sand will weigh 60 lbs. in the large bag and about 45 lbs. in the medium, and the small bag will weigh about 30 lbs. For a light weight filling Buckwheat hulls can be obtained at a feed store and the large bag will weigh 6 lbs., and the small bag will weigh less than 3 lbs.

Wal-mart -for both items . Just lashed it to the outside of my pack , worked great to lean back on when glassing & made a good camp pillow. Should have made it a little bigger so it would have been a great pillow instead of just ok. PRESIDENT TRUMP 2024/2028 !!!!!!!!!!

The large bag weighs 11oz. Much lighter than any bag, even half this size, with standard plastic pellet fill. I used one of these on my 725 yard elk shot last fall in WY. There's a video showing these on the page. RLTW

When used in the rear position the front bag has 3 different possible elevations. With the poly beads you use a left hand squeeze and get significant POA changes. Light and versatile. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2611182990/crosstac-big-front-bag-front-shooting-rest-bag-cordura
