There was a beanbag for sale on here. Try searching for a 'colostomy bag' (Seriously) and it'll take you to the relevant thread.

 

I'd just use the wing mirror. Be patient, when you get a pair of eyes and let the car stop in a suitable position.

 

Alternatively, get out and shoot off the bonnet.

I have shot from all sorts of cars, a couple of sandbags makes it easy.

I find That my wing mirror dosn't give the right fit, im only a short **** so may need to sit on a cushion but its holding the gun over the door its rather to low so i could use the window to bring me up that inch or two i have searched the colostomy bag and got no return i have also tried ebay and nothig i use my quad bike but as the weather is getting worse i thought i would wimp t and try the car.

 

Any ideas

I just roll my windows down to the relevant height and place some of that foam pipe insulation stuff on the edge.

Same here but you can buy one's designed for this, have a look here for starters.

Bazookajoes bag does look like the gogs danglies.

McF and I won one in the raffle at the charity shoot.

Despite his promises to fill the bag with dry sand, the bag didn't make it onto this years trip to Scotland, so we were unable to sample the delights.

Therefore we made do with the trusty piece of pipe lagging slid onto the edge of the car window, height is of course adjustable, but it works best if one drives, and the other person shoots out of the back windows of the vehicle. I don't know how well the pipe lagging works when shooting alone.

This thread has reminded me of a true tale that McF tells.

It goes back decades, to when he worked down the pit, and shot with some fellow pit men.

I'll attempt to tell the tale written in dialect, as its best told that way. The shooter was not McF.

 

4 men in a car lamping for rabbits. One driving, one lamping, two shooting, one each side.

 

A rabbit is spotted, the car stops; BANG!

 

Shooter = Ast geet it, ast geet it!

 

Driver = I, thatst geet it all reet; thast geet me fookin wing mirror off!

 

Maybe there's a lesson here.

i personally do all my shooting on foot but i know a bloke who use's an 8 inch length of garden hose slit down one side pushed over the window, works a treat for him

[al4x]

on an old shape L200 the rifle sits nicely on the dash before the shot then rests beautifully on the wingmirror and if you get it right the stock sits on top of the window just like bench rest shooting.

Both bags came from e-bay, I just stack them up to get the height I need for that particular rifle.

One is just a front bench rest bag, the other is of the type you cane drape over a fence, both a filled

with washed cocral sand. (it was free)

Hi i have purchased a window bag from thrad thanks for the information

I made up a piece of timber that slots into the head rest of the passenger seat and then spans forward to rest on the dash. Then I covered it with that tank grip rubber that bikers use. It's like shooting from a bench - rock solid!

Shooting from a Landy my rifle rests on the mirror tidy, I use strips of sticky draught excluder under the fore piece, no slipping and sliding, been using this method for years.
