Customer Testimonials
"Hi Wally,
Just received my model 1000 and accessories, and wanted to thank you for everything. It is beautiful! I am sorry to say that most of my firearms are not this well made.
The best to you and yours in 2007.
Thanks again,"
- Mike Dahan
"Wally,
I went to my estate in CT last week and used the target stand extensively on the property. It performed admirably without a flaw. A large gust of wind did knock it down once but that was it. I even shot the stand (by accident of course) with my 44 Rem Mag handgun and put a hole in the target holder section and it still works fine. Thanks for such a great, light and portable product. Then bench rest has yet to be used - I will let you know what I think after it is broken in.
Kindest regards,"

"I ordered a model 1000 rifle rest from you a while back and am extremely happy with it. What an excellent product that is."

"Hey Wally!!
I went to the rifle range yesterday and here are the results. I was using Ultra Max remanufactured 55 gr ballistic tip 223 in an AR15 with a 24" SS bull barrel made by Rock River Arms with a Bushnell 6-18x50 Scope. The attached targets speak for themselves. The single target was shot off of sand bags and the attachment with the two targets was shot from the Model 1000 rifle rest.
It DEFINITLY made a DIFFERENCE!!
THANK YOU for a great product!"
- Gary
"Wally,
I was looking for a good rifle rest some weeks ago and found your web page. I was reluctant at first to order because of the price. However, on the range yesterday, I was trying to sight in a new rifle with not the best of results. One of the other shooters next to me on the range noticed my frustrations and let me rest my rifle on his rest to see how good it was. It was the answer to my prayers. It was of course your product. As soon as I got home yesterday, I knew I had to have one. I was glad that I kept your web page on my "Favorite List". As soon as my budget permits, there are a couple of attachments I know I'll be ordering.
I can't wait to get the "500" out on the range.
Regards,"
- Stan
"The "500" arrived last Friday and I had it on the range yesterday and today. In a word it's FANTASTIC!"
- Stan Padegimas
"Me and my uncle have shot many rifles using the model 1000 and we love it. We have shot one hole groups with some of our small bores. The model 1000 is the most solid rest we have ever seen and the sandbag attachment is awesome. Keep up the good work."
- Ed Pigg
"We bought the model 1000 at the NRA annual meetings in Milwauke. The next day we set up the rest which took about 3 minutes. It is a rock solid design with plenty of precision adjustments for the long shots. I also appreciate the level in the front of the rest. This is by far the best rifle rest ever made. Can't wait to receive the sandbag attachment and V attachment. Thanks."
- Ed Pigg
"Wally,
You may remember I ordered a rifle rest 1000, that I received a few weeks ago. Finally got to the range yesterday. Just to let you know it is absolutly one of the best investments I made for shooting.
Can't tell you how happy I am with it, this stand will come with me everytime I go to the range. Great product, great workmenship and made in America.
Thanks,"
- Mike Russo
"Model 500 rest...great product. I always get a lot of comments at the range and when I'm out dogging."
- Marlin Fiola
"Wally,
Wanted to give you a report on the rifle rest you sent me a couple of months ago. It is great! So much better for load testing, getting set up quickly, comfort etc. than a rest and rear bag. I have not used it in the field yet and won't until next season as I am having season ending shoulder surgery next week. It is so easy to use, set up and the adjustments are plenty fine for the most precise shooting. After one shot if not exactly on target for the next shot it is very close. Wish I had bought it first instead of wasting money on rests and bags. Next season will try to get to SD for some high intensity PD shooting."
- Mike Ellison
"Wally, I went straight home with my new rest and sighted in two of my new rifles at 50 yrds. I then setup a couple of 1 gallon milk jugs at around 400 yards and blew them away with 2 rounds. Now I would like the bench vise devise that goes into the rear mount. Thanks Wally."
- Al Gross
"Hello Mr. Brownlee,
"I just received the rifle rest, it was in perfect condition. I appreciate the simplicity and the craftsmanship of the unit. Mr. Brownlee thank you for such a fantastic tool. I will be ordering from T.S.I. again real soon.
"With Great Pleasure
Thank you,"
- Mr. Castro
"Everything you said about the Model 1000 is true.
"Without a doubt, this is the best rifle rest I have ever used. It was a chilly 40 degree afternoon at my range in Montrose the day after Christmas, and I had a three shot group at 100 yards that measured 3/16 of an inch (.1875), with my 6mmx rifle. Then I shot my twelve inch gong three times at 888 yards. I love it when I purchase a product that works as advertised.
"Thanks again. I am a very satisfied customer. Before my prairie dog shoot this summer, I will want to try your sandbag attachment."
- Jim Carroll
Montrose, CO
"After researching rest[s] for several months I purchased your Model 1000. I appreciate the simple, efficient design enabling me to make any necessary adjustments with ease. The optional back fine-tune height adjustment is great.
"I have been a paper shooter for over 30 years and have been able to shoot almost daily for the past four. The first time I used this rest I shot my best groups ever. I am amazed by how well it works. I am able to shoot good groups consistently with little effort. I use the blocks on front for my varmit and hunting rifles and the sandbag rest for my bench rifle.
"Enclosed are 100 yard five shot groups that I shot with my 40X BR. This was the first time I used this rifle on the rest and I consistently shot in the 0s and 1s. Thank you for an excellent product that brings out the best performance in me and my rifle."
- Randy Hight
"Wally you clever son of a gun! My model 1000 is a work of art. I'm a gadget freak so I've got it on my coffee table with a Bushmaster M17S Bullpup bolted down to it. The targetstand is of equally well though design. What really pulled my trigger was the fact that one can neatly store and carry the Rifle Rest and Targetstand in the Targetstand carry case! Thank you,"
- Charles Lynn
"Wally, I really enjoy 'elegantly simple' design: things that go straight to their intended function with no excess baggage. That's what attracted me about the 500; I thought you had a nice product there. But having seen the pix of the 1000, you've really nailed it this time. Let the German engineers eat their hearts out; your work is absolutely gorgeous!"
- David M. Zuniga, P.E.
"Cabelas is selling a rest similar to your 500 Rifle Rest, and I ordered one, let me tell you it is a forgin piece of s _ _ _ the quality sucks. I can say that because there is no quality as far as I am concerned, it will be sent back. I wish this could be posted on your web site to warn people not to buy this junk from Cabelas, Thank You"
- Jim
"It is great. It exceeded my expectations. I may have to get another one when I get back from NM. We're loading up to go shoot some next week. This is going to be a hard week to work and not day dream about exploding dogs."
- Anthony Nichols
"I thought about putting a BarcaLounger on the table. Again, thank you Wally, your products are the best!"
- Jerry Vanier
"I must tell you that my rest came today, Wednesday 17 September, and I am totally thrilled with it. I was a bit hesitant at first simply because it was 'expensive' relative to other available products but it is well worth it and I can say to you I am quite impressed and proud to own this piece. The feeling of owning such superior equipment makes 'cost' seem irrelevant, buying products that I am 'proud to own' is worth every cent.
"I am heading to the range on Frday (pending severity of hurricane related weather) and I am excited to put this tool to use. Thank you for your commitment to the highest standards of excellence both in your products and your personal involvement with your customers. All is recognized and appreciated."
- Brian G. Kibbe

"The Infantry Center Instructors use the TSI rifle rest when training initial entry Soldiers here at Fort Benning, Georgia and take the rest on the road when conducting New Equipment Training (NET) for Army combat forces. Additionally, the Infantry Center Instructors have used the TSI rest during weapon and accessory integration, research, testing, and evaluation."

"Hi Wally,
"It was good to meet you in Pittsburgh. I hope you had a successful show.
"I absolutely love the Model 1000 rifle rest. It's a great piece of work."
- Bill Morse

"Good Morning, Wally! Got home from Nebraska last night and there was the box from TSI. Thanks for the quick shipping. I opened it this morning and couldn't be more pleased. This is 'top of the line' stuff in every respect. No doubt I made the right decision. If the weather cooperates this weekend, I'm going to give it a workout. My son will be home from Augustana for Easter and spring break and we've got a two-day prairie dog shoot planned in Nebraska. He'll love it. Thanks again,"
- Tom Chandler
"Sir or Madam:
I purchased one of your rifle rests about four years ago while living in Nebraska. I have to admit that is the best rifle rest I have ever used or owned."

I was unable to make it to your booth at the 2005 shot show, and would like to have you send me some information on your product line. I have used your 500 series rest, and we have found it to be superior to others we have tried. Thank you very much, and if there is anything I can do for you please let me know directly."
