When taking part in local competitions hosted by my hunting association, I have to take certain shots from the prone position. Problem is the surface is not the nicest to lay down on. Little rocks, sand, dirt and even thorns makes this uncomfortable. So some of the guys have their own shooting mats. A friend of mine uses a yoga mat, while other have custom made canvas mats. There are also some folks that have these fancy rifle bags which doubles as a mat. Anyway, I had the brainwave to use an old single bed blow-up mattress as an inexpensive DIY mat. When folded and rolled, it fits in my shooter's box. It obviously won't be super comfortable deflated, but I'm assuming it would help a little. What do you guys think ? I haven't tried it yet.
