The product "RUGGIES" (tm) which is a product that is being sold on TV and in stores as a rug gripper for throw rugs on hardwood, tile, and linoleum floors to hold rugs in place. Would they be apprroved to use at a NBRSA or IBS match ? Is anyone using them now ? I have them holding a throw rugs in place on tile floors and they work fine. A rear bag on a concrete bench top should be real stable with 2 of them stuck to the bottom of the bag. What do you think.....Yes...No....or Maybe ??? Thanks, Richard
 
as long as the product

is not attached to the bag or the bench, all is well. as a layer between the aforementioned, with no attachments, I can see no impediment to use.

Ruggies? What's their compression factor??? I don't want horizontal or vertical movement of the rear bag. Here's a double duty option for only $25 that not only "glues the bag to the bench" but also "levels uneven surfaces": http://protektormodel.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=252 Edgewood has one too. I've got both. They work great. P.S. By adding or reducing the amount of sand you use, you can also adjust the height of your bag. So I guess you can say it does triple duty.

Richard,

If they have a tacky mesh construction, I've used an equivalent that's sold here to stop items slipping on furniture with success.

From Mike Ratigan's "Extreme Rifle Accuracy", the anti-skid liners are for the toolbox or drawers but not under the rear bag. The stuff compresses and allows the rear bag to wobble.

YMMV.
 
I believe that I have tried that stuff and that it allows a slight amount of rock.

Sanding screen is like very coarse window screening that has abrasive particles glued to it. It has no paper backing, and the most common use is for sanding drywall compound. both sides are abrasive. Normally it is stocked die cut to size for pole sander heads, but it may be had in full sheets, which I was able to locate at a local hardware store. I bought a single sheet of the coarsest grade, and it gives terrific traction, with no rocking. I recommend it.

A friend had built a concrete bench, and because the top was rough, had ground it smooth. Years later, getting into benchrest, he bought a couple of rifles, and all of the shooting accessories out of an estate, and took up the sport, shooting free recoil using a Farley and gator. It was at this point that he discovered that his bench was too smooth and that his rear bag was moving. A couple of sheets of sanding screen solved the problem completely. I probably got the idea from some post on this board.
