Caldwell Deadshot Shooting Rest with Front and Rear Rests, Water Resistant, for Range, Shooting, and Hunting

The Theory of Unexpected Consequences after reading many reviews of this rest I decided to order the unfilled bags and fill them myself when they arrived . Many different types of material ,were listed in reviews, to fill these bags with . I decided upon kitty litter and purchased 2- 10 lb. bags at Walmart of the cheapest clay based litter they carried . It was $1.30 a bag. Very inexpensive . Used an extra funnel we had on hand to fill them . Took about 30 min to completely fill them. I would pour in the kitty litter until it reached the top, then gently tap the bag on the concrete until it settled in the bag. repeated this until it wouldn't settle any more and the bag was full. in the end there was about 2-3 inches of kitty litter remaining in the second bag, which I gave to a neighbor that has a cat. Took the bags to the range and they work perfectly. They don't move around, they stay put on the bench, and they provide a very solid rest for my rifle. The quality on these is excellent and I expect them to last for years and years. The problem is now I have an extra 20 lbs. to carry out to the firing line every tine I go shooting. I thought about getting a cart as I have seen these before at the range. But I'm not really a cart type of guy , so I got a large range bag to carry it all. Caldwell makes an excellent product of good quality material and I highly recommend them. Just be careful of the material you decide upon to fill them with because of the extra weight you will have to carry around.

The Caldwell DeadShot Filled Rear Shooting Bag is a fantastic addition to my shooting gear. The bag is pre-filled, which saves time and hassle, and its durable construction is immediately noticeable. The material feels sturdy and robust, and it holds up well to regular use. The water-resistant feature is a great bonus, especially if you’re shooting outdoors in various weather conditions. I use it for additional stability when shooting from a prone or sitting position, and it really helps improve accuracy. The bag provides a solid and consistent rest for my rifle, ensuring better control during longer shooting sessions. What I really appreciate about the Caldwell DeadShot bag is its versatility and convenience. It’s compact yet provides a lot of support for both long-range and precision shooting. The construction is top-notch, and it offers excellent value for the price. It holds its shape well, even after multiple uses, and it’s easy to adjust depending on your shooting position. Whether you’re a competitive shooter, hunter, or just practicing at the range, this rear bag enhances your shooting stability. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their shooting performance and add some extra support to their setup!

These bags are great! If you’re looking for a solid shooting rest without breaking the bank these Caldwell bags are the way to go. They are filled very well, the material is very sturdy, with a nice soft material on the bag where your barrel rests. They work very well for multiple firearms, and they are a great size to be able to pack and take around with you if necessary.

The Caldwell set of shooting rest bags is a pretty good set, and priced well. I have used the bags for rifle and handgun. The bags provide a good stable platform/rest from which to zero in your sights, or test some new ammunition loads, etc. The bags are filled with polishing media (I suspect it is corn cob media from the bit I've seen) - not sand. The bags are plenty heavy, but not horribly heavy (they would be if they were sand filled). The front bag is good sized, almost a cubic foot (give or take). The rear rest could be a tad larger, but works okay. Depending on your stock or other configuration, you might need to elevate it with something else. Stability is very good. The bag stays put and gives you a firm rest. The texture of the suede-like top provides a nice grip on the forestock of a rifle or the lower frame of a handgun. The two bags can be attached together via a plastic snap-hook and D-ring, which makes carrying them easier. This set is light enough and small enough to toss in the car when you visit the range, and it will do the job well. Can be easily refilled (or emptied) so you can adjust it to your preference. And if you remove some of the filling - use it in your tumbler!

I love this rest. It has become my primary rest. I cracked a stock on my.375 Ruger using a sled that has a solid but plate. I now use, and prefer, the Tack Driver with a Caldwell butstock support. The ears really hold the forstock nicely. It’s also a lot more versatile and transportable than a sled. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Should work great for what intended

I cut off a plastic bottle and used it as a funnel to fill both bags with sand. The brick masons working on a nearby project told me to help myself, and the sand was nice and dry -- so flowed right into the bags. Personally, I like the feel sand provides in a shooting bag -- provides a very stable platform. No complaints at all about the bag quality, and no issues with leaking sand from either of the two bags.

Very strong good quality
