The evolution of man went from the ground to shooting bench back when we pronounced Neanderthals correctly. Now even us old guys are trying to enjoy the dirt again. Fine dry blowing dust is definitely an acquired taste, so to make it easier what are you guys using for big soft shooting mats? Seems like a lot of gear to avoid using a bench, but I’m giving it a go. After working in a crawlspace the girl working at my favorite muffin shop gave a 50% discount when I mentioned it was a tough morning because all the dirt made me look homeless, so there should be some upside to this.
Do you guys blow the dirt off with a cordless blower or shake it, fold the dirt in on itself and roll it up? A separate pad or tarp to keep muzzle blast from making dust devils? A bigger tarp then the shooting mat? What kind of spotting scope base works on a shooting mat? In the summer the iF temp gun says the ground is 140F - are you guys using pop ups when it’s not windy? Cordless fans? Normally someone lying on the ground around here is dragged into the shade and given CPR.
