Caldwell Hunter’s Blind Bag

When shooting from a high seat, blind, or box hide, you often get the opportunity to take some relaxed, precisely aimed shots which benefit from the height, weight, and solidity of the structure itself. The Caldwell Blind Bag is a simple, pre-filled package that drops over the windowsill, ladder rung, or front rail of your location and, with long legs hanging down, remains in position without slipping. The green Cordura construction features a conventional rabbit-ear rest bag on top, and there are also twin laces if you want to tie it even more securely in position.
The overall weight is 1,423g (51oz), and the 230mm (9”) height provides a stable anchor for the 130mm (5.25”) wide upper rest. The bag will expand to fit over a 38mm/1.5” sill, and because the filling beads are soft with some malleability, you can position it as desired. The rest prevents all noise transfer from the supporting surface as you position and aim your rifle. Importantly, the soft bag avoids any bounce when firing, allowing precision bullet placement without zero shift, as well as a continually accessible scope picture throughout the recoil and reloading cycle while watching quarry reaction.
If you opt for a different filling, the filler tubes are folded and tucked beneath the main rest, allowing the bag to be emptied and refilled with heavier or lighter media. The rest will accommodate a rifle with a fore-end measuring up to 50mm (2”) wide, but a change of media can help the bag accommodate wider fore-ends. GM
