sand bag in front and a sock with rice for a squeeze bag in the back for the money sand bag and sock are really cheap other options from less to more expensive a good web sling if you want it more mobile a back pack stuffed with clothing a Harris bi-pod and the sock of rice also work well the thing about lead sleds is your gun doesn't shoot the same way when in your shoulder , how every you hunt is how you want to sight in. if and bags are inconvenient to adjust the bench rest guys use a front rest and rear bag the caldwell jr front rest works nice a smaller version of what the benchrest guys use , they also have the larger versions of it https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1015052687?pid=682659the larger rock rest with rear bag if your trying to shoot groups for load development the stock resting free on the rest or sand bag and in your shoulder with a rear squeeze bag be it sock or commercial will give you the most repeatable conditions in the field over a pack

I've had a 'bulls bag' for years , works good I think. Just a tad heavy dragging it to the range is my only complaint. I guess any bag will be heavy though . Does come with shoulder strap for carrying.

agree with everything you said.....i still want a good one to set in and shoot a few rounds to check my accuracy against bipod or general shooting bags ,,, over hood of truck... off a rock ect
in that case the question is Lead sled DFT2 ? which is better for AR type rifles Dual Frame allows the grip and magazine to go between the frame rails it also for sighting in your SBR or Braced pistol the front rest adjusts back or Lead sled 3 ? which would save some money if you have no need for AR type rifles

Caldwell lead sled. Sure takes the sting out of the heavy thumpers. The lighter recoiling stuff that I typically used would get a bipod and a rear bag. But, I’ve gotten rid of the guns for various reasons and use a x-bow during the firearms season and compound during archery so long as I’m not too banged up to do so.
I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."

I own a Caldwell lead sled and it collects dust. I am far more accurate with sandbags or a bipod with a rear sandbag. The Lead Sled does reduce recoil but I could of get comfortable with the increased length of pull and it just wasn’t as solid

I've heard those lead-sleds are hard on rifle scopes, but I've never wanted one to try it and find out.

Lead sleds are hard on scopes and bases. I shoot off sand bags or a bipod. If recoil bothers you that much that you feel you need to shoot off a sled, you might consider a round with less recoil. Just my thoughts and opinions which mean nothing.
Not everyone likes me, but not everyone matters

not sure what your range requires , NRA RSO range safety officer is a one day training , i think it cost me $75 for the class and $30 for a 2 year registration it is 15 or 20 for every 2 years after that.
