Description
The Caldwell DeadShot Rear Shooting Bag is the classic little rabbit-ear style rear bag that quietly does most of the work behind an accurate shot. It cradles the buttstock so you can fine-tune elevation with a squeeze instead of muscling the rifle around. Because it ships empty, you get to decide exactly how heavy and how firm you want it, which is a big part of why this one has stayed a range staple for so long.
The body is built from water-resistant 600 Denier polyester that resists stretching and keeps the bag holding its shape shot after shot. The top contact surface is leather, so your stock settles into a grippy, low-slip pocket that helps you return to the same point of aim every time. It measures a compact 5 inches wide by 5 inches high by 4.5 inches deep, which is the sweet spot for supporting a rifle butt without hogging bench space. It's designed to pair with just about any brand of front rest or bipod, and the built-in Quick-Connect clip lets you snap it to a front bag or range pack for easy hauling.
Filling Your DeadShot Rear Bag Your Way
Since it comes unfilled, you can tune the feel to your setup. Untreated corn cob media is the lightest and closest to what Caldwell puts in their factory-filled bags, walnut media adds a touch more weight, and dry silica sand gives you a rock-solid, heavier platform for benchrest work. A funnel makes topping it off painless. Keep in mind that organic fills like corn cob are best kept dry, so if you shoot in the wet a lot, sand is the more weatherproof route.
Where the DeadShot Rear Bag Earns Its Keep
Whether you're load developing off the bench, ringing steel at distance, or getting a hunting rifle dialed before season, this rear bag gives you a stable, consistent point of contact. It's simple, it's tough, and it's the kind of gear you set up once and forget about because it just works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DeadShot rear bag come filled or do I need to add filler myself?
This version ships unfilled, so you'll add your own media through the fill spout. That's a plus for a lot of folks because you control the final weight and firmness. Corn cob media, walnut media, and dry silica sand are all popular choices.
What's the best thing to fill the DeadShot rear bag with?
Untreated corn cob media is light and close to what Caldwell uses in their factory-filled bags, while walnut media runs a bit heavier and molds nicely around a stock. If you want maximum stability for benchrest shooting, dry silica sand is the heaviest and most weather-friendly option. Organic fills like corn cob work great but should be kept dry to avoid mold.
Will this rear bag work with front rests from other brands?
Yes. The DeadShot rear bag is designed to pair with most any front rest or bipod, not just Caldwell's own front bags. It's a standard rabbit-ear rear bag shape, so it fits into a wide range of setups.
How big is the DeadShot rear bag?
It measures roughly 5 inches wide, 5 inches high, and 4.5 inches deep. That compact footprint is ideal for supporting a rifle buttstock without taking up a lot of bench space, and it's easy to toss in a range bag using the Quick-Connect clip.
