Round 4 shooting off the bag.
I have shot off my 3600 and 5000 EXO bags before so I have a good idea how they worked so this was just shooting from the TT.
I don’t do much prone shooting due to brush but it can happen and my wife took a cow shooting off my 3600 so it’s still valuable to practice.
Mounting a shooting bag to a pack is something that I have not done or even packed before, but with the shock cord on the upper main section it’s easy to stuff it in there. I am using the Molinator Heavy Bag(MHB).
At first with my pack being in day-hunt mode the bag was a little too low to get a good position. I thought about removing my first need items out of the lower main section and put them in the upper main section to fill some internal pack volume but instead, I took my sit pad and stuffed it under the MHB. This provided enough height increase to make a much better platform.
In day-hunt mode the upper main section only has my “possibles pouch”in it so it’s basically empty, if I did have additional gear in there the sit pad would not be needed but I don’t want to add internal volume filler for no reason or loose easy access to first need items.
At home, I secured the MHB to my K4/5000 using the dedicated horizontal straps and it worked without any issues. I stuffed my sit pad under the MHB for comparison and it would work but I would not leave the pad under there and hike with it as it’s not as secure as under the shock cord of the TT.
I used a scoped chassis rifle and an iron sighted muzzle loader for this round and I would say, if easy access to gear is not a high priority to you, then from a shear shooting platform performance, one could call the round a draw but for me the TT with the MHB and that ******* simple shock cord was easier to get setup, more secure and still gives better access to gear so the TT takes this round 10-9.
