Rear bag firm or soft bottom

[Trevor60]

This got me thinking again and just how much bounce is created when we put our leather rear bag on our rubberised shooting mat. I iremember one canadian shooter cutting out his mat to allow for his rear bag but i think it was more of a height thing.

you BR shooters do you notice a difference when on a cement slab against using a soft rubber (or other material bottom)

Has anyone tried attaching an aluminum plate to their rear bag?

Thanks

I put my rear bag on a piece of plywood. Same surface every time I shoot.

My rear bag in Raton was soft. With my new stock, it will be hard.

When I am working with a rear bag from behind I like a little give but firm,not firm like a skin and bones but firm with a little softness and a bit of surface give but not spongy like a marshmallow more like a rubber ball.Hope that helps!!!
