If if im going to another range I have a smaller lighter front bag i use

Yeah I may just get the missus to make some more rice bags up. The nzda range uses awkward benches so prone is usually easier I find.

And the same but smaller for a rear rest.

Bags are really only good at the range, but a bipod does double duty.

Which bipod? Starting to shoot further so was going to keep an eye out for a second hand harris

I have used my day pack successfully before in the field

so now i can shoot from a wooly sock wrapped around a condom full of packaging material. all i can say is it does work and costs nothing, though explaining to the mrs why you are purchasing condoms could be tricky

That shouldn't be too hard for me ha
