I've been using the Caldwell Matrix rest. It is light weight, solid and most importantly inexpensive about $25. Sorry can't get the photo to work but I'm sure you can Google it

For the bench I've got a Caldwell dead sled DFT. It's awesome but expensive and a bit of a pain to lug around. I recently picked up a Caldwell dead shot...or steady shot. I can't remember which is the actual name but it's an H shaped bag filled with media and I'm really loving it and I'm finding it's become my go to rest for all ranges of the bench. I use another bag I've filled three quarters full of rice for the butt stock in conjunction and this works perfectly.

A Harris bipod works great for bench work.

I made a folding shooting table and carved a block of stiff foam to fit the foregrip on my beast. Seconds to set up, seconds to take down. I would post a pic but I have no adapter to fit this stupid tablet.

Re: Shootin Rests lets see Pic's
Mike, I got tired of hauling all my shooting stuff to the lake when we go so I bought a "Cheapie" rest to leave out there. It is an MTM K-Zone rest, and it is plastic and a real "Cheapie"..... But it works very well! It is much better than it should be for what it costs. I have used it 3-4 times and I am impressed with it. It is adjustable for length and height and is a very stable platform to shoot from.
I don't know how long it will hold up, but it is great so far, and it is not an arm and a leg price wise. Also being plastic it doesn't weigh much so it is easier for me to get around. Just a thought.

I use a Caldwell Deadshot Fieldpod sorry no pictures .
Re: Shootin Rests lets see Pic's
I use adjustable rest for my rifle because I had it for 40 years .Sandbag under the rear below the trigger ...Some use their cleaning rifle station to shoot bow...It clamps in bow tight ......
If i got something it would be a station you can clean your firearms and hold your bow also ...I like the adjustable rifle rest only for front and use sandbag for rear ..........This way i can get bow up high enough and not have to lower my head to shoot ...
