Model 1000LP One-Piece Rest From TargetShooting.com

Article Courtesy of AccurateShooter.com

Over the past few weeks, we’ve had a chance to test and evaluate a one-piece shooting rest designed by Wally Brownlee of TargetShooting.com. The model 1000LP rest is solid, strong, nicely-machined, and versatile. We found it provides a very stable platform for every kind of rifle — from big magnums all the way down to benchrest air rifles.

The 1000LP rest is distinguished by its use of two (2) leather sandbags, a normal-sized one in the front and a compact mini-bag in the rear. Many other one-piece target rests use low-friction pads or Delrin contacts in the rear. The typical “lead-sled” rests use a solid cradle or V-block in the rear. The small, cube-like, rear mini-bag helps the model 1000LP out-perform typical, one-piece steady-rests. The small rear bag, which is supported by metal plates on three sides, does a great job stabilizing your gun. We also found that the combination of front and rear sandbags seems to provide good vibration damping — something that really helps with precision shooting.

Thank You for building a wonderful product. I've been fortunate to test and own many one piece rests. The 1000 LP is right at the top in comparison, the wind-age and elevation controls are precise, the construction is solid and clean. Although I shoot rim-fire for score, the rest is manageable moving from bull to bull. I also like the lower center of gravity and your rear bag design, very unique and feel it adds stability and dampening benefits. The rest is much easier to transport than my other one piece rests, which is a plus.

When I laid my hands on this rest for the first time, I didn't think it had the potential, was I wrong. Well done Wally, your also a true gentleman to speak with on the phone.

Kind Regards,

Dear Wally;

I can’t Thank You enough for introducing me to the Model 1000LP Bench Rest.
It has helped me immensely with my scoring. My gun, an Anschutz 2013 model sits perfectly true and solid in the rest.

The adjustments front and back are amazingly accurate and very user friendly.
I would strongly recommend this rest to any rifle shooter who insists on accuracy.

Wally Brownlee says what he means and means what he says about his model 1000LP Rifle Rest… it will greatly improve your shooting accuracy.

Anyone, what is a formula for successful target shooting? Well, try this one:
POA + 1000LP Rifle Rest = POI x Fun (cubed). That is: using the model 1000LP, you hit where you aim and have big fun doing so.

Folks, I’m having fun targeting shooting. Purchased the 1000LP Rifle Rest in Oct ‘10 and I love it!!! It is what Wally says it is…the best rifle rest on the market. Now I can focus on shooting and get quality trigger time at the range. For me, the drudgery of handling multiple sand bags to stabilize my weapon is over. Once I properly position the 1000LP, it stays put. I place my rifle in the attached sand bags and the rifle is stable. I can then focus on my shooting accuracy. The finely tuned windage and elevation adjustments knobs finish the setup. Bam! Results… My POI equals POA or just a click or two from it, all else considered.

Watch Wally’s YouTube videos; they are very informative. Call Wally; he’s a cool guy. The model 1000LP rifle rest is what he says it is… a difference maker in your shooting accuracy. I’m much more accurate and consistent using it. Just as important, though, I’m having FUN shooting with it. So will you.

Wally, it’s great doing business with you. Likewise, enjoyed our conversations.

Thanks Wally. Call you soon. Amir

Wally - I thought you would like to know that I had the chance to use the shooting rest for the first time yestarday and I can honestly say my benchrest shooting scores improved, sometimes dramatically, in the case of my bolt action 30-06. The weight and precise changes you can make without having to move the entire rest seem to make all the difference. Other rests have you rearranging everything to change windage & height which, for me, seems to cause a lot of error.
 
Even though it was the main reason I selected your rest, I have not yet had the chance to try the handgun setup with the model 1000 rear but I'm sure it will work great.
Hopefully I can get to the range sometime this week or the weekend to try it with the handguns.
 
Thanks for making a great product.

Wally, after using the rifle rest, since leaving the Tulsa show. I highly recommend this rifle rest for any and all bench rest competitions. As an NRA instructor and competitor in 600 yard matches this bench rest competes and exceeds even some of the Sinclair bench rests.

Many of our club members have expressed interest in and have used my rest and all make same comment; "why does a bench rest of this precision come delivered in a nickle and dime case?"  All things being equal this is absolutely the best bench rest I have used and sincerely recommend it's use to all serious bench rest competitors.

Thanks Wally for a great bench rest!
