Hi,
I am guessing that I am not the only one that finds that different ranges require different set ups. Ours in Batemans Bay for example requires a very high rear bag and or a spacer or a low front rest as the 500 range is slightly downhill, and Wagga range is significantly up hill requiring either a lot of elevation in the front rest and or much lower rear bag setup. Canberra from memory is somewhere in between, Having tried both leather and Coudra, I much prefer courda with a bit of powder on them front and rear. I tried silicon spray on the leather, but it seemed to dry sticky. I haven't tried it on courda. What variety of bags do others use ? Where do you buy them from ? Most of the good ones that I have seen for sale (edgewood and protektor) seem to be around 3 1/2" to 4" high to the bottom of the ears. Where do you get lower ones ? Custom made higher ones are available from either Protektor or edgewood. Most gun shops seem to only sell the very basic ones (caldwell and similar). Cheers Anthony |

Hello Anthony you are correct about needing different height bags and rests to shoot the fly at all our
different ranges i used to carry two rests and two bags and a heap of spacers to pack up the bags and rests when i visited the southern ranges i have solved that problem now that i have a SEB NEO front rest it has about twice the height adjustment range of other rests but i will still bring some spacers for the rear bag to batemans bay -- just in case -- also i have used silicone sprays and baby powder talcs for the bags and also found that they did not do the job well enough so now i use micro-fine teflon powder and for my light gun it does what i want with only one application for the entire shoot if it would do the same for a heavy gun i don't know -- only a test or two will tell -- john mc quire
Every Shot inside the Eight Ring would be GREAT

Hi John, Cool.. the Seb rest seems like a great bit of kit.
Where do you get your microfine teflon powder ? Cheers Anthony |

Hi Anthony i am lucky to still have some Hoppes teflon powder in a small 11.2gm puffer bottle
but will try and source some from overseas suppliers when i run out aJR in townsville got some from a musical store for use on keyboards if i manage to find some i will bring it down to the batemans bay shoot for you to try the teflon powder only needs to be applied once at the start of a shoot and you don't need much on a bag to get it to slide smoothly see you in batemans bay john ![]()
