While looking for a shooting mat I came across the Midway USA brand mats. Does anyone have one of these and are they any good?

While looking for a shooting mat I came across the Midway USA brand mats. Does anyone have one of these and are they any good? Sir, I looked at the shooting mats shown on the Midway web site. I've seen a few of them in use by other shooters at various matches. While I don't see anything wrong with what Midway is selling I will say that in my humble opinion there are better choices. Check out the mats sold by Champion Shooters supply of New Albany Ohio. They are a regular dealer on commercial row at the National Matches and I have used one of their delux mats for quite a few years. When the rubber elbow pads wore out on my first mat I took it to them during the National Matches and they replaced it for the cost of the rubber. I bought another mat to use while they were repairing my old one and now I have two. My son uses the old one now. Much better value IMHO. 7zero1 out. |

They are GTG but only buy when on sale. They're always on sale. I second this. They have 2 versions - one that's usually on sale for around $29 (normally $5-ish), and another, newer version that's usually on sale for $45 (normally $90-ish). I have a couple of the cheaper ones. The only issue I have had - and have seen on others - is that once I got my shooting coat, the rubber on the elbows was stressing and tearing the stitching out between the black panels. Other than that, I've had them for 4 years now, and they've been good to go. |
