Caldwell Rear Shooting Bag

This bag is typically sold unfilled to keep shipping costs down and allow you to customize the weight. You will need to fill it yourself, ideally with dry silica sand or a similar inert, granular material.

The right size depends on the height of your front rest. You want your rifle to sit level when resting on both the front and rear supports. If you are using a standard bench rest, the medium size is usually the most versatile starting point.

Yes, this bag is designed to be universal. Its construction is compatible with almost any standard front shooting rest on the market, regardless of the brand.

The leather top provides a high-friction surface that grips the stock of your rifle, preventing it from sliding during recoil. The polyester sides are used because they don't stretch, which helps the bag maintain its shape and firmness over many range sessions.

Dry silica sand is the industry standard because it is dense, flows well to conform to your rifle stock, and doesn't absorb moisture. Avoid using materials like rice or beans, as they can attract pests or degrade over time.
