bench rest bags
Hi all,
I was wondering what you folks fill your bench rest bags with? Which is the best? Dried beans, rice, peas...? I don't want to use sand or pea gravel because of the dust factor. Thanks,
Hank

Re: bench rest bags
As per Boo's suggestion I use rice and have been very pleased. I have bags filled to different densities which work great.

Re: bench rest bags
I have used both sand and rice. Rice is very nice, but I like sand much better. It just seems to hug the stock more securely.hankenhunter wrote:Hi all,

A tip to eliminate the "dust factor" is to vacumn seal first before you put it into the cloth bag. Just remember to not vacumn it too tightly or you will not be able to get a "hugging" rest.
