Sandbags from scratch?

Great point, Bunnypuncher. For those of you who aren't familiar with in-depth sandbag physics, "QFT" is geek-speak for Quantum Fission Terminator. This is what antecounteracts the expected ballistic rise of the aft-end of the bullet during terminal parabolic drift.

That "inner-tube filled with corncob dust" is the worst at causing it. Avoid that one at all cost. Word.

Ky Larry I put up a new light fixture in my mom-in-laws garage. She took some canvas and made me some sand bags. She left about 2 inches unsewed at one corner. I filled them with sand and she sewed them up. I've had them for several years and they are holding up just fine.

I can vouch for KY Jelly's sandbag technique, here.

What makes that sandbag system particularly effective is the fact that he put up a new light fixture in his Mother-in-law's garage. I've made the mistake of only changing the light bulb on a neighbor's porch for her and the sandbags she made for me in return just don't work as well. Not sure why, but most Sandbag Physicists agree that a mother-in-law garage light fixture change out will improve the quality of the swapped-for sandbag.

KY Jelly's suggestion is about a good cheapo bag as you're going to get. BUT: If you don't have a mother-in-law or if she doesn't have a garage or if the light fixture in it doesn't need changing... go with the rice-bag filled with dry black eyed peas and sealed up with #4 hog rings.
