I have guns to hunt and to protect my family. I'm not really a target shooter, but I bought a .17 for practice, and might build a 223 just for the range.
Question is, what bench setup do you guys use to shoot with? I've always just sighted in using bags to get a couple inch group at 100 yards with my hunting rifle. Never tried to get a "ragged hole". I recently used a lead sled to sight both my Savage 17 and Savage 30-06 in, and I can tell you, no ragged holes occurred. But it was better than me sand-bagging it. I have a cheap set of table bags, but want to get the gun up higher.
Do competitive shooters use the lead sleds? Or just a forend bag? Or two bags?
