Shooting Rest

[d3vnull]

For those experienced with shooting rests will you please provide me with some brand names of good rests that are similar in style to this:

Grizzly tools, Randolph machine, Farley, Nota rest. Off the top o my head. I'm sure there is more. MM

Grizzly tools is the one on the budget, have one and I like it for the price.

You just need to modify windage adjustment to be more precise , very easy to do.

Randolf is a really good one!

The Randolph was my choice.

I’ve got a (modified) Bald Eagle That I don’t use if interested, PM me. I’ve also got a Caldwell with the joystick that is gathering dust too.

Thank you for the offer. The product names let me look up the models and watch some youtube videos on them. One led me to the model linked below, which may fit my handicap better. My issue is fine motor skills, not being able to actually shoulder the gun, and not being able to look through the scope. I have the scope issue solved and am currently using a Caldwell Lead Sled, but the Caldwell is not so easy on the finer movements I need. I know a one-piece is not allowed in actual BemchRest, but my scope wouldn't be either and both probably are what allows me to at least enjoy plinking.

Has anyone dealt with Mr. Wally Brownlee from Target Shooting before?

One piece rests are allowed in Open and Unlimited. Why they are not allowed in the LV and HV...I have no idea. There is no perceptible advantage that I have been able to find. There are one piece setups that have a joystick for windage. Less money than the one showed, too.

This is the best thing you can do for your Randolph. It allows you to make both windage and elevation adjustments without moving your hand back and forth.

Thomasair, can you explain what we are looking at in the above photo. Sorry for the stupid question. I have been going back and forth between the Randolph and the Foley for the past 6 months and still have not pulled the trigger. I can't decide if I want a joystick or not. I have also considered the Neo Mini.



thanks,

Bill

The Randolph only comes with the knurled windage knob and knurled elevation knob...which are far enough apart that all you can do is move in one axis at a time. You are constantly moving your hand back and forth to make small adjustments. The additional large mariners type wheel under the elevation knob allows you to put the windage control in your hand and use your pointer finger and thumb to move the elevation wheel simultaneously. You can make large enough movements that you won’t be constantly moving your hand back and forth. I would actually make the extra wheel bigger.

Thanks for the explanation!!!!!

I have a Randolph front rest and an additional back piece to make it a one piece rest. One piece is how I usually use it at home. I don’t compete. I just show the grand kids up! The larger elevation knob or spur is a great idea. I will make one in the future. Thanks MM

There are rests that have a tiller for quick smooth adjustments. I shoot an 

Eagle at times but most of the time a cheaper Caldwell and squeeze a rear bag.
