Open for suggestions. After a couple days of prairie dog shooting the elbows get pretty raw from the carpet I'm using. I know I could use some gel pads, but I was wondering if anyone has a top that they really like? A yoga mat glued to the top perhaps?

Mouse pads work, but you end up chasing them across the prairie.
I resorted to long sleeve T's.
Montana guys won't have a clue....they don't get out of the truck....

the elbows get pretty raw from the carpet That's because your top is too wide. If your back 'tail', or 'ear' makes you put your elbow on top, instead of 'hooking' it over the edge, your only inviting soreness....... 12 inches is about right for me. Never a 'raw' elbow to be seen. Carpet or not.....

I wear long sleeves or put an elbow pad on.

Yeah, that's easier and less work, than making the bench fit.....

Montana guys won't have a clue....they don't get out of the truck.... You say that as though it is a bad thing? Sometimes we get out to refill the little cooler from the big cooler.

How am I going to work on my tan with long sleeves Al? I left the door wide open for you to comment on that one. I think I'll try an elbow pad made out of my wife's old yoga mat with some Velcro on the bottom to stick to the carpet (hopefully). At least I can see if that does the trick before replacing the top.

Shooting left handed has an advantage when you are the driver. For those of those of us with no buddies.

If you move to Montana it'll cost you some money as you'll have to buy one of those "Dog-gone Good" bags that rests on your truck window....

Also, I can't shoot from the truck as sitting in there eating coffee and donuts, I'd have to take a leak so often it would disrupt my rifle rest getting in and out...
