Your customer service is
excellent, glad that I went through you guys. My buddy has one of your
15” bags and it works so much better than my standard sand bags. That is what
sold me on your product right from the start. Thanks again for spending the
time to tell me about your different models, it made my decision easy on which
bag is right for me.

The guys at Fort Dix range will hear of the great customer support.
(Bull Bag was recommended to me by another shooter @ Fort Dix.) Thanks, Bill 4/15/2010 Linden, NJ
Shot my first cloverleaf ever using my new BullsBag!.
I'm a new large bore shooter with a new rifle, and we are both still in
the break-in period. Target was at 100 yards, rifle was a Weatherby
Vanguard Sporter in 30-06, bullet was a reload using 47.5 grains of
Varget driving a 168 grain Speer boat tail hollow point match grade
bullet. the BullsBag gives me a good feel for the rifle and the shot
which a metallic rest never did. Looking forward to good shooting this
summer! - Matthew D. 05/04/2010
5 out of 5 TecShooterLocation: PA Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes Bulls Bag DesignDate: December 23, 2009 Thanks Cabela’s for finding the Bulls Bag. I have used these products for nearly 20 years
(Bench and Field models) and still have not found anything that comes
close to its accuracy and repeatability or guarantee! The new X-7
design (Now in use) surpasses even my wildest dreams in a shooting rest
system, with its ability to create so many shooting techniques and
multiple configurations. This remains the Best of the Best…
I hadtwo of them shoot the Mosin using the Bulls Bag. They were using the metal rest with a Protector leather bag on top. Both said the same thing."That really holds it tight," and "Where did you get that?" After
getting used to a trigger pull on a 71 year old rifle, here's a photo
of the last three shots I took using the Bulls Bag. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the bag and show it to others any chance I get. - Rod Berry

will be shooting at 100 Yards, and this rifle will usually do less than
a minute of angle at this distance with my handloads. 100 yards is
still a long way away.
"A
fine 3/4 inch group, and if I'd kept that flier in the group, it would
have been a 3/8th in group. Not bad for a cold bore group." Conclusions: 1. This system worked as advertised. 2. It is a good one-piece system for sighting in and shooting from a bench. 3.
I believe it would especially be good for non-bench applications, such
as in the field for shooting off a boulder, or a log, or even the hood
of a car or truck, where a regular front and rear bench rest system
would not be applicable. 4. They are easy to transport and give a good, steady rest.
Bulls Bag… I am sending you a special thanks and a photo of my prize.
I called your office a few weeks ago on a Saturday, when me and a few
hunting buddies were sighting in rifles off the Bulls Bag shooting
rest. Much to my surprise, someone answered the phone. I asked what was
the best way to sight in some rifles with your bags and was told that
your President was coming back from Washington DC and was about an hour
away and he could stop by and lend us a hand. The owner showed up on
time and got us on paper and in the “X” Mark, on three guns... with
ONLY two shots each. This guy is amazing. Thanks for the “Expert” help
and I now can prove up the accuracy with this wall hanger. – Jeremy H 11/29/10 Hagerstown, MD
I was
shooting with Ed Williams of Meeker , CO. and the Rig was desg. and made by
Brent Curtis. He and his dad own Elite MFC Co. of Dalton. Ed said we shot
about 800 dogs and fired about 1050 rounds...Your Bull Bags worked like a
charm. WE got to hunt in a lot of areas that were not accessible by truck and it
had rained and the rancher was glad, as we were not going to rut up his pastures...thanks Pete
Good Morning Bulls Bag, Just wanted to get back with you on some
good feedback for the Bulls Bag.I finally had a chance to spend some
time sighting in my 1939 Mosin Nagant. I shoot it with iron sights at
70 yards.I took it to a local outdoor range Friday. There were several
other guys shooting rifles in the bays next to me. Of course, everyone
is always checking the other guys guns and equipment. I had two of
them shoot the Mosin using the Bulls Bag. They were using the metal
rest with a Protector leather bag on top. Both said the same thing.

At
the last SHOT Show, I looked at some Bullsbag shooting rests. I spoke
with one of their reps and he told me about how the bags worked. He
asked me if I would be interested in doing a product evaluation on the
bags.
I told him I would
be glad to do so, but warned him that I would only tell the truth about
what I saw. He assured me that was all he wanted.
I
received three different models of their bags, and will show how they
are used and how well they work in this two-part series.
The bags are meant to replace the standard benchrest set-up of a front adjustable rifle rest and a rear sandbag system.
I have used this type of system for over 40 years.
Here is my usual set-up.
I will be a pretty tough sell for changing to a new system, but let’s
see how this one works.
The
first bag is the model they call the Bench Black/Suede 15" Shooting
Rest. It came filled with “cat litter” and weighs about 23 pounds. It
has a convenient shoulder strap to help carry it to the bench. It lists
retail for $104.95.-
Just as a side-note… Many may feel that this is a lot of money for a shooting rest.
However, my normal shooting rests presently lists for approximately
$250 and the rear bag lists for around $30, so the system costs
approximately $280.
That’s makes $104.95 sound a lot better
The Bullsbag system uses a novel system to hold the rifle snugly.
It consists of four “chambers” in an X-type of arrangement.
By placing the rifle between the top two chambers, you can adjust the tension by how much you spread out the two lower bags.
This holds the rifle very snugly and allows consistent shot-to-
I will try it out with my Accuracy International AE rifle, in .308 Winchester caliber.
This rifle is extremely accurate on the standard benchrest set-up that
I normally use, so we will see if it will shoot as well on this bag.

The next model is their Field Tree Camo/Tuff-Tec 10" Shooting Rest. This rest is slightly smaller than the 15” Bench model, and is made for field use. It retails for $57.95 and this one weighs about 14 pounds when filled with cat litter.
I will try my Remington 700 in .308 Winchester. It is usually a very accurate rifle on my standard benchrest set-up, so we will be able to see how it does on the Bullsbag.
I found that I had to "get down" on the bench to really get a good view through the scope.
"Five shots through a cold bore, measured 3/4 inch for 5 shots. Not bad."
Conclusions: 1. This system worked as advertised. 2. It is a good one-piece system for sighting in and shooting from a bench. 3. I believe it would especially be good for non-bench applications, such as in the field for shooting off a boulder, or a log, or even the hood of a car or truck, where a regular front and rear bench rest system would not be applicable. 4. They are easy to transport and give a good, steady rest. 5. Will I replace my old system with these bags? I don't believe I will, as I have been using the two part system for 40+ years. But for field applications, this is a much better system
In Part Two, we will look at a Bullsbag system that is designed especially for magazine fed rifles like the AR15 and for pistols. Stay tuned.
