    As I have started getting into shooting distance your vids have become such a giant help thank you so much
  • Thank you for this professional grade video on shooting bags. I wish I could have learned this rear bag technic 22 years ago.
  • @jasonrad9332
    Still love my Army sock lined with panty hose and silicon bead fill as my rear bag. The Crosstac looks nice though.
  • @ToddWilliams
    Your wireless mic did the job, Gary. The audio was great!
  • @johnmoore2510
    One of the best videos I've seen on bags. Thanks for the effort. Excellent content.
  • @onebadjack1313
    I just bought a bag that doesn't look anywhere as good as these. Im looking at that xxl crosstac now. Thx for the tips, i just mounted a scope and didnt use my laser plumb level and flashlight this time, lol. Its a bit different than iron sights at 300m and a green silhouette. Love the simple and easy to understand instruction.

    Good stuff. At the 19:40-19:45 point in this video, that's an impressive steady hold at 36×, especially considering you are also freezing your !@#$%*! off. I will be ordering a bag with that new outer that I've never seen before. Thanks for getting this video up.

    Thanks for producing this video and sharing your experience… exactly what I was after.

    Good stuff, Gary. I have to admit I have a bit of a bag problem. Posted a video a few weeks ago showing a quick look at the dozens of bags and packs I've acquired. Very long video and I left a lot out of it 🤣 I have a bag that I haul around all of my bags in! Trying to find the ones that suit me best and then knowing before the stage which one I need to use for that stage. Made a few wrong choices on last Sunday's match. Gonna practice more the next few weeks and try to be better at that for next month's match. I know what I did wrong now, so I should be able to correct it. I like having an assortment of bags for all kinds of uses. If they exist, I am going to try them out and learn to be proficient with as many as possible. I am getting there!! Have a great week, Gary!!

    Great knowledge drop that helps me sort out what I've been researching. You sir have made this much easier for me, thank you!

    Got me shopping for squeeze bags, then I thought... normally I just use my left hand like a squeeze bag. Loosen fist or tighten fist as necessary to adjust elevation. I'm not sure if isolating the pulse in my hand by using a bag would offer more stability or not compared to a bag. I'll use a bag or bipod in the front.
  • @PkwyDrive13
    I love my mini range cube, use it most of the time.
  • @thebryguy96
    This was a very helpful video. I basically agree with everything you said here. I am familiar with Tab gear but didn't see bags from the other company before. When i go to the field or range i take several bag weights, shapes and sizes with me. Being able to squeeze the bags are critical for fine tuning the cross hair on the target. My advice is to buy many (at least 3 different ones) bag sizes and shapes as they all have different roles. The light weight bags are ideal for hunting and backpacking, where weight is critical. The heavy ones are ideal for heavy rifles and when weight isn't an issue. I have also used my binoculats and my kifaru ditty bags from my backpack. For quick and dirty fast and medium range shots, your hand can be adequate especially when hunting and an animal is walking. Keep up the great content and educational vids. I see you are doing a shooting course with x ring which should be top shelf. Your accutac bipod is an amazing product also. Thanks.

    Awesome video thanks for taking the time to make them.

    I learned something, thanks! I use an old tube sock in a Crown Royal bag filled with airsoft BBs.
