Anyone used the window rests bags?

[Sol]

I've seen these floating around and they've peaked my curiosity yay or neigh? I take quite a few deer from vehicle through the year so I've wondered if Its worth considering.

Had a look on Temu for anything cheaper but nothing that looks as solid as the one on bushwear, ones on amazon are pretty much identical in pricing too.

I have used one of these as a window rest even though it’s not meant for it

I use or have used a 'pool noodle' with a slit to accom the glass.

That was also an idea, especially since those should see them in stores here soon!

And only a few bucks,I passed "the reject shop" one day saw them in a bin, got one for $2 its on the floor of my ute and I use it for my cameras also.

Pro max window rest works better for me

I’ve tried a couple of different bag type rests, always go back to a length of 22mm pipe insulation cut to size & slid on the window, works a treat & cost pennies (whatever they are these days ).

22mm pipe insulation

the pool noodle is approx 75 mm. I shaved a flat for better bedding the forend and also couple of dips in one for camera resting. Big lenses roll quite a bit.

I use a similar bag rest but I use it on the roof of the canopy on the hilux I find that parking up and standing on the tailgate makes you invisible to most mammals

Bag rest for the rifle and you can comfortably shoot as far as you can see

Absolutely - same here - but I have covered them with cloth to stop them squeaking against the glass

I mainly shoot off the wing mirror of my car. I have made a platform out of plywood that slots over the top of the door, resting on a towel. Very stable platform, and cost nothing.

Would be the best option but I'm a wee lass and cant even shoot off the mirror standing outside the vehicle Its unfortunate!

Use foam pipe insulation, comes in varying thicknesses and is pre-cut to slip over the glass. Personally I have a plank of wood covered in thick carpet that goes between the headrest and dashboard on the passenger side.
I also have one of these 600d oxford cloth cars window mount rest bag support sandbag - Temu United Kingdom for shooting off the drivers wing mirror

@Reloader708 here you go sir... There is a massive clue ^^^ that women are active in stalking and using this site.. (Sorry to hijack the thread, but 708 was looking for evidence)

I also made a plywood platform that hooks over the door when the glass is down, shoot sitting in the driving seat, vey comfy and out of the wind when foxing, I also leave the glass up a few inches sometimes and hook the Tackdriver bag on, although someone told me you can bugger up the sensor in the electric window mechanism by putting weight on it to often

I have one of these Mk2 Window Rest Bag - Equifix Shooting Bags UK You need a fairly heavy fill to steady the bag but it works very well. It is quite handy if you have a long high seat session too.

I have a selection of bags from Equifix, they are well made and arrive swiftly, I don't have any association with the manufacturer...

Pipe insulation does a good job on the rear window of the Hilux. Fortunately, the rear window on my Hilux is pretty well level.

 

[FISH BOY]

Got the Deben version, but essentially this design is what you want.

Very stable.

Pool noodle and 7mm mag,its full of those shiny brass things too.
I cut up a bit of old lightweight kids bed piping,welded a bit of split pipe on each end and riveted it to the Polaris frame.
It took more time testing firing positions to be correct than it did fitting it.
Have gun,will travel.

I found due to the curvature of the window on mine, they slide about, 15mm/ 22mm pipe insulation thicker the better. and cheap.

The YouTube guy "Predator Protection made a handy one.
A piece of thin ply cut to shape so that it fits inside the glass groove when your window is fully down, then lagging on top of that, it gets around the problem of the curved glass. And you can cut it to the perfect height for your needs.
