discounted shooting mats wanted

a couple of weeks ago I saw a post listing mates for about 1/2 price.  the 100$ ones were about 50$.  anyone remenber where that was from?

MidwayUSA. They have a sale every other month or so. Keep an eye out. You'll find their $100 mats for $50 (they're a bit bigger/wider) and the $50 mats for $25.

Personally, I use military foam sleeping mats. They're available locally at the surplus store and the guys there save the "bad ones" (missing a tie strap or have a cigarette burn in them) for me and give them away at $.99 each. Can't beat that! Plus, they're good to use as comb builders. Just cut a piece off the end and duct tape it to the stock.

I shot recently at Camp Atterbury JMTC with a bunch of Riflemen who know well what they're about and I don't think I saw a single mat. By far, the best thing to use is a shooting jacket. Mats are nice, but they're not very portable.

... and in the sun they get super hot... more than once I've tossed a mat to the side and opted for the grass... much cooler on those elbows

We use  rectangular area rugs(thin) you can pick up at the big box stores. Use a tarp underneath towards the trigger side...helps with brass cleanup and in a "mud" shoot  you won't foul your mat as bad(past experience).
