My rests are really quite primitive and are pretty much what I would have in a hunting situation. I am the first to admit some days my targets are not something I want to show to the world, other days things seem to click. I am still a work in process and probably always will be. I want to get better at freehand shooting.
Sorry for the derail.

I am not sure that I would ever use a 'lead sled' I was referring to the one that FG uses that does 99% of the aiming for you with very small movements...

But when you look at the cost of this thing - I will not be getting one soon. Not sure i would even use it that much if I had it... There is no doubt in my mind it would make you a better bench shooter though...

I still stuck with my Jr. Rock front rest and sand bag on the rear...
