Birchwood Casey SteadyShot Delta Bag Heavyweight – Black

Description

The SteadyShot Delta Bag is one of those pieces of range gear you set down once and forget you're even using, because it just works. It shows up already filled and ready to go, so there's no scooping sand or fighting with loose media. The cylindrical body is the real trick here: roll it slightly and you get fine elevation adjustments without ever lifting the gun, which is exactly what you want when you're chasing a small aiming point or settling in for a long string of fire.

What Makes the Delta Bag Heavyweight Worth a Spot in Your Kit

At roughly 3.25 pounds, this heavyweight version has enough mass to stay put under recoil and keep your setup from creeping between shots. The exterior is waxed canvas, which gives it a grippy, slightly tacky hand that holds a forend or stock in place instead of letting it slide around. That same canvas shrugs off scuffs, dust, and the general abuse of a tailgate or bench, so it ages well rather than falling apart on you.

Front Rest, Rear Bag, or Both With the SteadyShot Delta

One of the nicer things about this bag is that it plays double duty. Set it up front under the forend for a stable platform, or drop it under the toe of the stock as a squeeze bag to fine-tune your hold. The polymer fill keeps things balanced either way, and because there's a zippered access pocket, you can add or pull fill to get the firmness dialed exactly how you like it. Compact at about 7 by 5.5 inches, it travels easy and doesn't hog space in a range bag.

Built to Move With You

Birchwood Casey added a large handle plus a sling loop for quick grab-and-go position changes, and there's a carabiner loop so you can clip it to a pack, a belt, or the rest of your gear when you're hoofing it to a shooting spot. It's a straightforward, durable rest that earns its keep at the bench, in the field, or on a barricade.
