You can make your own out of cloth around the house, canvas works really good for this or old blue jeans. Go to the store and buy some cheap bags of white rice, or use sand around the house. Just make sure the sand is really dry. You sew the cloth up like a big sock. Put the 2# bag of rice, plastic and all into the cloth sock and you can sew the end shut or leave it long enough and just tie the end off....You will need three of these to really settle the rifle in. Actually I took the rice and opened the bag and put the rice in a larger then needed bag from my vaccum sealer and instead of sucking the air out of the bag, I just sealed the end. That way it gives me room to mold the bag.

I once took the whole leg off some old worn out jeans. Sewed the end shut with STRONG thread. Then I added three 1# bags of beach sand on the bottom and two on the top. These I did sew the end shut. I had also put the sand in the thick plastic bags and sealed the end shut with my vaccum sealer. After I added the five pounds of sand, I sewed the end of the pants leg shut. I also took my three #2 pound rice bags.

When you get to the range and set that on the table, rest the rifle on the first layer of the bags and then pack the two top bags to each side of the rifle. Then pack the #2 pound bags on each side over lapping the first. It will really make the rifle more stable, you will not float as much on and off the X when you site in, they are cheap to make...

They really do work, and if you add them to a homemade bench rest, you can almost not even hold the rifle and it should stay on target. Then it is a matter of fitting yourself to the rifle and making the same touch to the trigger each and every time. I always do this when testing a new projectile. If they do not group TIGHT it will show up here right away. You can also better judge what your powder charge is doing and decide if you need more or less powder to tighten the load. Once you find the load then you can shoot the rifle anyway you like.

After I have them tuned, I like to shoot off sticks. I hunt off sticks, and so I like to shoot off sticks. It has really made me a better shot in the field because if I can do it at home in the yard, I should also be able to do it in the woods when that deer is poking his head around the side of a tree.
