Handgun rest

Post by KERRY » Tue Jun 03, 2008 6:30 pm

Can someone give me thoughts on handgun rests. Not ransom but maybe MTM. I want one to really sight in several handguns.
Thanks
Kerry

Kerry,
I have the MTM and it's great! It's simple, effective and inexpensive!
I also use a Hughes Ballistic Bag for my rifles which will accomodate my handguns but opt for the MTM!

Welcome to Guntalk-Online Kerry!

Rests are a good way to get your pistol or rifle sighted in. However if you plan on shooting these firearms off-hand or in position shooting, you may experience an impact shift from the rest's point of aim. This is normal as your head and eye will be placed in different relative positions from where they were while sighting-in on the rest.

How true it is, I will get them close to zero from a rest and then readjust as required by firing in the nirmal stance. Ir does give yoiu a good starting point though.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.
