Description
The Birchwood Casey Steady-Shot Foxtrot in the large heavyweight configuration is a dedicated rear shooting bag made for people who care about where their bullets land. It's wrapped in black waxed canvas, which is the same kind of material that holds up to years of hauling in and out of a truck, sitting on gravel benches, and getting dragged across a shooting mat. That canvas isn't just tough, it also gives the bag a slightly grippy feel so it stays put once you've got it positioned.
What Sets the Foxtrot Large Heavyweight Apart
This is the bigger of the two Foxtrot sizes, measuring roughly 10 by 6 by 5 inches and filling out to right around 5.3 pounds. That extra mass matters more than folks expect. A heavier rear bag resists getting nudged during recoil and gives you a more consistent point of contact shot after shot. The medium weight fill inside strikes a nice middle ground, firm enough to hold elevation when you squeeze the rear for fine adjustments, but with enough give to cradle the toe of your stock without feeling like a brick.
Where the Foxtrot Rear Bag Earns Its Keep
Run it behind a bipod or front rest for benchrest and long-range work and you've got a stable three-point setup that takes the wobble out of your hold. The textured surface locks onto benches, tailgates, and mats so the bag doesn't shift while you're settling in. It's compact enough to toss in a range bag or pack, which makes it just as at home sighting in before season as it is on a Saturday at the range.
Birchwood Casey has been building shooting gear for over 75 years, and the Steady-Shot line reflects that experience. If you've been resting your buttstock on a rolled-up jacket or a sandbag that's seen better days, stepping up to a purpose-built rear bag like this one is one of the easiest ways to shrink your groups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Steady-Shot Foxtrot a front or rear bag?
The Foxtrot is designed as a rear bag, meaning it supports the toe of your rifle's buttstock. Pair it with a bipod or a front rest and you've got a stable platform for benchrest and long-range shooting. Squeezing the rear of the bag lets you make small elevation adjustments as you settle onto target.
Does the Foxtrot Large Heavyweight come already filled?
Yes, it arrives filled and ready to use right out of the packaging. It comes with a medium weight fill that balances firm support with a bit of give, so there's no need to add media or set anything up before your first trip to the range.
What's the difference between the heavyweight and ultralight Foxtrot bags?
The main difference is weight. The large heavyweight fills out to around 5.3 pounds, while the ultralight version is much lighter for packing into the field. The heavier bag resists movement under recoil better and tends to feel more planted on the bench, while the ultralight favors portability.
Will the waxed canvas hold up to outdoor use?
Waxed canvas is a proven material for field gear because it's rugged and shrugs off weather and abrasion. It also has a naturally grippy texture that helps the bag stay put on benches, tailgates, and mats. Expect it to take years of range and hunting-season use without falling apart.
