Why Shooters Choose the Allen Bench Shooting Bag (Empty)
Custom weight & feel: Fill it with dry sand, crushed walnut/corn cob, plastic beads, or airsoft BBs to dial-in the exact mass and squeeze you want.
Rugged 600D shell: Tough, abrasion-resistant fabric stands up to bench tops, barricades, and truck tailgates.
Stable contact surfaces: Textured faces (design may vary by run) help reduce stock slip and keep your rifle tracking straight under recoil.
Compact bench footprint: Low, wide stance offers solid support without crowding your bags, mag, or data card.
Cost-effective: Skip the shipping weight of prefilled bags and fill once at home, topping off as needed over time.
Travel ready: Empty bag packs flat; fill on-site if you’re flying or hiking to remote ranges.

Performance You’ll Notice
Steadier sight picture: Added contact area damps wobble for cleaner crosshair holds and crisper trigger breaks.
Repeatable elevation: Fine-tune vertical hold by squeezing or relaxing your support hand—classic benchrest technique.
Improved recoil management: A properly weighted bag helps rifles return to point of aim for faster follow-up shots and better shot calling.
Pro Tip: Want firm support that still conforms to stocks? Mix 80% dry sand + 20% crushed walnut. It packs dense but remains “tunable” with light hand pressure.
Ideal Use Cases
Benchrest zeroing & validation: Confirm torque, parallax, and dope with a stable rest.
Rimfire fundamentals: Low recoil + solid bag = efficient trigger and follow-through drills.
Hunting-season prep: Rehearse realistic holds before taking shots from blinds or benches.
Travel & training: Carry empty; fill at the range and empty before the return trip.
Filling & Setup (General Guidance)
Choose fill media for your weight goal (sand = heaviest, beads = lightest).
Use a funnel to load the bag; tap and pack to remove voids for uniform density.
Test with your rifle on a flat bench—add or remove media to achieve the firmness you like.
Seal securely (per your bag’s closure) and recheck after your first range session.
Keep fill media dry; moisture adds weight and can clump.
Durability & Care
Spot clean the 600D shell with mild soap/water; air dry fully.
Inspect seams/closure before range trips. Top off media as the bag settles.
Protect finishes: Keep contact faces clean of grit; drape a thin cloth for delicate wood stocks.
