What is the Function of Shooting Bench Mats?
A shooting mat and a bench mat are essentially the same things, which is why they’re often called “shooting bench mats”. They perform a variety of functions and are quite versatile. They’re about the same thickness as a computer mouse pad, although usually made from more durable materials while retaining flexibility. So what good is a shooting mat?
When you’re at the shooting bench:
- Helps stabilize your shooting rest, Bipod, or Monopod to ensure your rifle isn’t slipping around too much. Also works well to keep the Tripod of your Spotting Scope in the same spot instead of potentially shifting on a slick surface.
- Helps keep debris from the shooting bench from swirling around and winding up in your eye or the action of your firearm.
- Helps keep smaller items, like screws or Rimfire Ammo, from rolling around and falling through the cracks.
- If you’re shooting from a prone position, it’s an ideal spot to keep all of your equipment in one place without sitting in the dirt.
- Helps pad your support hand’s elbow whether shooting from a bench or prone position.
At home or in the shop:
- Protects table surfaces from Lubricants, Solvents, & Degreasers used in gun cleaning.
- Helps prevent parts from rolling around and getting lost.
- Helps prevent scratches on your firearm, and/or scratches on your table surface.
- If you’re using a Gunsmithing vise, a bench mat will keep that vise from slipping around on table surfaces.
- Perfect accessories for your Reloading bench to prevent all of the above. It’s also handy to keep under your Case Tumblers so you can easily clean up any stray tumbling media.
- Works as a pretty cool mousepad that’s large enough to accommodate your keyboard and cushion your wrists.
What are the Different Colors Available for the Shooting Bench Mats?
Pretty much any color you can think of can be used on a shooting mat, but most often they’ll have a background of gray or black. Many modern shooting mats also have intricately detailed exploded views of specific firearms so you can strip and reassemble your weapon quickly. They’re available for many popular gun models like ARs, 1911s, Springfield XDs, AKs, etc.
