Most people are ordering from Europe now. Spain, Lithuania and a few other countries have stores that offer them.

Those prices are quite outrageous, by the time you get them here.
Why not a camo-dry-seat from Bass Pro or Cabalas?
Something like this?

Bunch of different things could work.

This is a ridiculous price. US funds and probably more to ship than the one from Lithuania.

https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/shooti ... r-bum-bag/

I have a butt hook coming from Lithuania for $257 Canadian that you can not touch over here for less than $500 before tax and delivery.

I am talking about an actual field target bum bags, since that is what was asked about.

that is the one I am looking for, handle, nice bag and might last, conforms to the rules and so on

saw some red cafta bum bags, maybe for just team competitors I don’t know

if we could do a group buy for the ones Mac shows or cafta ones I might be in for 3

I wish to compete and thus need good stuff, thanks for the other suggestions though

sorry to be a bother just trying to get the best I can

thanks so far

I don't believe anyone thinks your sticking your nose into anyone's business, it's good to have good gear!!...Where exactly did you see a "CAFTA bumbag"? This would just be a bumbag someone bought and put a CAFTA patch on as there is no CAFTA brand/sold bumbag.

When ordering from unpocodeoxido.com he will do embroidery of any type, such as a CAFTA logo or in my case an Iron Maiden logo :supz:

Jesus...There are rules for a simple cushion to sit your bum on?

What next, you can only use Home Depot buckets to sit on, not Canadian tire?

There absolutely are rules for the bum bag. The have a box that it must fit in for outside dimensions and the lid must fit on so it is not too thick or high. Do not want EasyBoy chairs on the shooting line and you would be surprised what people will show up with if there are no rules.

As for buckets, the are not allowed under World Field Target Federation (WFTF) rules. We use them for hunter in Canada and the US and as long as they do not have a back and are 18" or less in height, you are good to go.

I think you made a good investment, Jefferson. I fill mine with granulated cork, which is a little heavier than the styrofoam beads, but definitely offers more support and stability. Some use buckwheat hulls that have similar characteristics to the cork.

This is what most are using for pellet pouches in FT. The are a good size and extremely durable and crush resistant. I have had mine since Wilkins started making them. Buy once.

Most sports have rules surrounding the equipment used in them, it's not that complicated...

The bean bag cannot be used in conjunction with a kneeling role.
