Protektor 13A Rabbit Ear Rear Bag – Leather Shooting Rest with Hard Bottom
Heavy-duty hard bottom rear bag for maximum bench stability and repeatable support
Leather construction with rabbit ear wings to cradle the stock and reduce roll
Supplied unfilled so you can tune weight and firmness to your setup
Please Note - This bag is delivered unfilled
The famous #13A Rabbit Ear Rear Bag is 2-3/4" H to the bottom of the ears then tapers downward slightly toward the eagle. Includes a hard bottom for added stability. Each ear is 2-5/8" tall and has a single stitch sewed in between them. We recommend using this style ear with most common hunting stocks used today.
The taller rabbit ears allow shooters to use the squeeze technique to adjust elevation while shooting. This is a versatile high quality top grain leather rear bag and is recommended for shooting a wide range of distances. The base size measures 5" W x 6 3/4" L.
This model is particularly well suited to shooters who want a more stable rear platform than soft-base bags provide, especially on smooth bench surfaces where movement can creep in.

Q: What is the difference between the 13 and 13A rear bags?
The 13A features a hard bottom base for extra stability on benches and flat surfaces, while the standard 13 has a soft base. The 13A is better for shooters who want a more planted rear rest.
Q: Is the bag supplied filled or empty?
It is supplied unfilled, allowing you to choose your own fill material and adjust weight and firmness to suit your setup.
Q: What fill material should I use?
Common options include sand or plastic media. Heavier fill gives a more stable rest; lighter fill improves portability.
Q: Why choose leather over fabric?
Leather offers greater durability and abrasion resistance and provides smooth contact with the rifle stock, helping the bag last longer under repeated use.
Q: What shooting setups is the 13A best for?
It’s ideal for bench shooting, zeroing and precision practice, especially where a more stable rear support is needed on smooth bench tops.
Q: Can this be used with a bipod or front rest?
Yes — it pairs perfectly with front bipods or rests to create a stable two-point support system.
Q: Is this suitable for airguns as well as rifles?
Yes — the rear bag works with both rifles and airguns for bench and range shooting setups.
