Title: Shooting rest
Post by: Saltyboto on March 21, 2022, 11:20:20 PM
Hey everyone, was looking to purchase the Caldwell DFT 2 to use to shoot. Does anyone have any experience with this? Also is it too high to use to shoot at the rifle range? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have used an older Lead Sled at the KHSC rifle range and it works well from the benches. I used to use it for refining zero and testing ammo, as well as with some newer or older shooters. Really helpful when I had my dad shooting his 1903.

Not sure what you mean by “too high”. But it does help if you have a bench with the seat that has different heights.

a front rest and a bag in the rear would work better - most benchrest shooters adopt this technique. It is far more adaptable than a platform rest
