New Inflatable Rear Bag for Hunters and Tactical Shooters
Here’s an interesting product, offered by Creedmoor Sports. The innovative MOA Tactical Shooting Bag (MOA TSB) combines plastic pellets with an inflatable, inner air chamber to provide a very lightweight (and adjustable) rear support for your rifle, when shooting prone. Designed for “tactical” shooters, we think the MOA bag would work equally well for hunters and varminters. Costing $59.95, the MOA inflatable bag is priced competitively with basic rear sandbags, but it weighs much, much less than a leather or cordura bag filled with sand.
These MOA bags are built tough, with a durable inner air bladder, surgical-quality tubing, and rugged outer fabric. To help stabilize the bag, lightweight polymer (plastic) pellets are used inside. The air pump then inflates the air bladder to the degree of hardness/softness you prefer. An air valve allows you to deflate the MOA bag for more compact transport and storage.
We did try one of these bags, and it worked pretty well for prone shooting with bipod. The rear bag-rider of an Eliseo Tubegun settled nicely on the bag, and yes we could “Pump it Up” to add firmness, and raise the rear. Likewise it was simple to bleed air from the bag, lowering the bag-rider. Yes you could adjust the bipod leg height instead (raising/lowering the front relative to the rear), but it was faster and easier to make small changes with air pressure. This item will not replace a heavy sand bag for a serious F-TR shooter. However, for a tactical competitor who needs to move rapidly from one position to another, this patent-pending MOA Tactical Bag makes sense. It is a durable, well-designed product that can shave many pounds off your load-out weight (compared to a heavy sandbag).
Though this is marketed toward “tactical” marksmen, we think the MOA Tactical Shooting Bag would also be handy for hunters who walk long distances in the field. Hunters need to be concerned about weight as well. The air+pellet-filled MOA bag offers a lighter alternative to a bunny-ear bag or heavy sand sock.

If one of these showed up at a F-Class match, I’d expect to see it get challenged as being a ‘mechanically adjustable rear support’.
Gucci gear – for tactical the quickest, cheapest and best rear stock support is called your hand.
Unless you shooting .223 slight jump will happen with .308 when lying prone.
For me a soft light rear-bag is not as effective as a firm heavy bag.
Comfortable and stable shoulder position and a firm front bipod added to proper resetting after each shot consistently will produce great results.
Does anyone know where I can find one of these? Creedmoor Sports doesn’t show this on their website. i’m an older partially disabled shooter (non-working left hand) and something like this would be easy for me to adjust the rear bag using my right hand since i can’t squeeze a rear bag with my left hand. Hopefully this is still available or you can tell me where i might find one.
I tried one of the MOA Systems inflatable rear bags last weekend (6-26-21) with both my 308 and 300wm, both heavy chassis rifles (Mcree Precision), I regular shoot past 1000 yards and plan to push the 300wm to 2k. The MOA bag is extremely rugged, very light, extremely easy to precisely inflate, and solid when inflated. After using my trusty rice bags, and other “pellet” pads for years–the MOA bag is heaven. After the first setup and 3 round group, I said “oh yes, gotta have one of these” I ordered one yesterday. You will love it. John4Q
