Color

The bags can be purchased in two colors: green or pink.

Front and Rear Bags

The DeadShot Shooting Bag Combo is made up of two bags, front and the rear bags, both of which work together to provide a  stable shooting platform for your rifles.

Quick-connect Feature

The bags have a quick-connect feature that easily connects the front and rear bags together. This makes transporting them to and from the gun range relatively easy.

Reduces Felt Recoil

One problematic byproduct of shooting a gun is the recoil. A rifle recoil is not only irritating but can also hamper your ability to shoot accurately. Thankfully, there are a number of things that a shooter can do to reduce felt recoil. For example, this can be achieved by doing things such as wearing hearing protection while shooting and adopting a proper shooting technique. The Caldwell shooting bags can also play an instrumental role in mitigating felt recoil. This is made possible thanks to the solid rest that the bags offer your gun. The more securely your gun rests on the shooting bags, the more felt recoil is mitigated.

Helps Make Long Range Shots Easier

As a result of the solid rest the bags give your guns, it is easier to sight-in your rifle in order to get those accurate long-range shots you are aiming for. It is very important that you know that a shooter’s rifle is only as accurate as he or she makes it.

Easy to Empty and Refill Bags

The bags (both front and rear) come with zippers, which make emptying and refilling them very easy. You can refill the bags with any reasonable filler you like, using such as sand, tiny pebbles, corn, etc.
