This...use rice or semi-closed cell foam, to keep the weight down, tie the two "finished" bags together with 2' of paracord, and you can carry them on your neck, for convenience...plus you always have the option of using 2 rests or one, depending on the situation.

I think I have 5 of these homemade bags. I've been using them for over 10 years. I usually use 2-3 at the front and 1-2 at the rear just depending on the gun and the table.
