Protektor Model Owl Ear Front Bag

Smooth leather: Perfect for my target rifle forearm support. Allows for rifle steady recoil rearward movement.

I replaced a rest that was damaged during flooding. Have multiple rifles and needed several different sizes for the different forearm's

Front sand bag on a adjustable rife rest

Cost a little more than others but this one beats the others hands down.

Quality has a price, wish these werent quite so high.I have other Protektor bags and have been satisfied; would have been with this one also IF I had received it, instead I got some other leather product in the mislabeled bag to I had to return it. Despite my misfortune I do recommend the products.

I bought a shooting rest for my Colt LE6920 M4 Carbine from the NRA and wanted to upgrade the small, inexpensive, relatively light-weight Chinese-made front bag that came on it. After seeing the various shooting rest bags sold on Amazon.com, the Protektor Model #2F Owl-Ear Front Bag, Small was a great fit for my Colt M4 carbine's configuration when using 30-round 5.56 NATO ammo clips.The weight and substance of the Protektor shooting bags, as well as their quality of construction and materials used, and their overall appearance was head and shoulders above the 2nd best selection. I wound up ordering the Model #2F Small Owl Ear Front Bag, the Model #18F Pillow Bag, and the Model #16F Brick Bag on Amazon.com, to use with my shooting stand when dialing in my scope and laser sight on my M4 carbine and adjusting the iron sights and laser sights on my Beretta semiautomatic 9mm pistols and Ruger .357 Magnum revolvers. The Model #2F front bag was easy to solidly attach to my shooting rest with a length of paracord, and the Model #18F and #16F bags simply rest on the top of the shooting rest's frame, below the front bag, when firing my handguns. I also cut a length of spun fiberglass material I cut out from a welding blanket, then folded over and stitched down the raw, cut edges of the fiberglass cloth, to keep it from raveling and falling apart, to make a strong, durable, but lightweight protective cover to spread over my three leather shooting bags and my shooting rest's powder-coated steel frame to protect them from the powerful blasts of hot gasses and particles of burning gun powder escaping at the cylinder gap between the front of the cylinder and the forcing cone of my Ruger .357 Magnum revolvers when I'm shooting hot ammo loads in them.

I purchased this for my Caldwell Rock BR and it works great plus is much better quality than the Caldwell front bag that came with it. My range buddy's front Caldwell bag has already torn and he is also going to replace it with a Protektor after seeing mine. Protektor also offers a super slick model but the desired size was not available at the time of purchase, however a dryer sheet draped over this bag does the same thing.

I was expecting a rugged, well made rest based on reviews, but I wasn’t expecting the leather to be so soft and pliable. It was only a few bucks more than the Caldwell rest it replaces, and it’s so much better…
