TINA'S SANDBAG REST Success! (Read Below) Let's help Tina get her rifle! A local girl here, age 10, wants a new rifle. Dad, an avid shooter, wants to help her get the gun, but also wants to teach her about Capitalism. She came up with her design for a sandbag rest and Dad helps make them. She's wanting an Encore in .204. Guys, she's the cutest girl and is an avid shooter in her own right. The rest is great. I was given an example and I am impressed. It's better than the regular commercial made rests that I wont name. They are using a walnut shell medium as fill... similar to what reloaders use to polish brass, but it actually comes from the oil field industry for use of absorbing industrial fluids etc. The bags have a good heft to them, but are not heavy. They have a good height to them... when I'm shooting off a rest, this is what I'm using now. Pricing is about 10 bucks plus shipping. These are great rests, you'll like them. Get one and help Tina get her new rifle. If you have a Blog, please, copy the picture and put a link up and help spread the word. When she's made enough money and gets her new rifle, I will post a picture of her with her new gun and with the biggest grin you've ever seen.The rest is essentially a pair of sand bags, filled with a walnut shell medium. The rest works fantastically well with a variety of weapons. Its easy to manage, not too heavy, and very stable. But let's allow the photos to tell the story:
As you can see, the rest holds my "Green Marlin" which is now officially renamed "The Black Marlin"... and it holds it well.
This picture shows how high an above average rifle is held. And of course, that can be adjusted by the shooter in how he positions the sandbags.
It turns the roof of my Contour into a very stable, field expedient ballistic lab.
The main bag is cake the sized of a classic steel canteen. This size is ideal.
The smaller soda can sized and shaped bag is also just about ideal. the two bags are connected via heavy nylon straps. In these photos the two straps are connected to each other with a simple fabric loop. Instead of a fabric loop, use a small keychain sized carabineer.
Tilting the small bag up on end, it made for an effective pistol rest from which I was able to make some amazing shots with my Buckmark. Guys, when I said this rest was better than the commercial rests out there on the market, I wasn't kidding. These rests are awesome. To get yours, please email Tina's Dad... Willie Anderson. And remember, this is for a good cause... Tina needs some funds so she can buy the rifle she wants... a new Encore in .204. She's a smart girl, with good taste, and she's designed one hell of a good sandbag rest. Get one, tell me how you like it, and I'll post the opinions of The Horde on this page below. “Hello, This is Tina's old man......Or at least that's what she calls me. Thank you for your interest in the project that my knuckle head has come up with to get a real rifle seeing that she has out shot the little .22 that she also bought with her own money from anywhere she could earn it. This time she has gone globule. The small bag is about 3.5' round & 5' long The Med. bag is about 7.5' round & 3' tall The set costs $20.00 a single is $10.00 shipped to your door. I can even send them to your friends house to keep you from getting in trouble for spending more money on "GUN STUFF". I prefer money orders or cashiers check. I don't have a pay pall account yet and don't know that I ever will. I will take personnel checks and will send order when check clears. Do to the demand for this rest I will not be able to start filling orders for another two weeks. At that time I will have a choice of colors and different patterns of camo. I will send the choices out to everyone that has shown interest. There will be an order form and all the info on payment. Pleas send your orders to tinasgunfund@yahoo.com and we will fill orders as they come in. Thanks.........Tina and Willie”
Here's Tina and her Chipmunk .22 sitting on her sandbag rest. This is the girl that wants to upgrade to .204. Come on guys, ante up and help her out and get a sweet sandbag rest in return!
Tina got her rifle!
Thank you for all those who have helped Tina get her rifle. Willie and Tina are still making these rests, well, because .204 ammo is kinda spendy and this girl likes to shoot. Probably will keep this up through the end of the year, so if you want a decent sandbag rest, order one from Willie. Again, thank you. And if you steal this idea and start making your own, you are a complete rat bastard deserving of all the bad luck and bad karma you will receive for your reward for being such an evil git.
