Shooting mats

[Big Dog]

OK. I have looked the Net for a shooting mat, a good one, (rifle shooting) all I can find is Tactical Mats. They look OK but are a bit of a rifle carrying case too. I fancy something that I can sling over my shoulder and carry in the field. I am not as fit as I was and I need to steady my shot. The mat is for snipping or having a wee nap; .

 

I do have an adjustable tripod from Bushwear, great, I will say more on this tool at a later time when I test it fully. So far happy.

 

However, can anyone through light on the mat?

 

Ps Shooting Sport reviewed one a view months ago, it must be the only copy I can't find so if you remember that review and have a copy you would do me a great service.

 

Thanks

What about one of those plastic backed picnic blankets ? Mind rolls up neatly with a shoulder strap.

..or the camping mats. Only about 3 quid and roll up quite nicely. Light too.

I use an old fishing unhooking mat.Weighs nothing and soft and padded to lie on

Try one of these links for a proper target shooting mat-

Or if you are nearer Bisley you could try the NSRA-

I use a mat they use in the gym for sit-ups, it's great for using out on the mud when i'm out wildfowling. They even have a carrying handle cut out at one end. Might be an option for you, they sell them in most sports shops.

Yes I have used some of the above but I would like a proper mat a bit like the one Gemine in the website you stated. They are padded and normally olive and black. Thanks for the ideas anyway.
