$24.99 Half-off Pricing on MidwayUSA Shooting Mat

The MidwayUSA Competition Shooting Mat is on sale for just $24.99, half the regular $49.99 price. The $24.99 sale price is good now through December 31, 2009. Sized 69″ Long x 27″ Wide, this mat rolls up into a 6-7″ diameter “sausage” for transport or storage. While we prefer a wider mat (with more room for ammo boxes and shooting accessories), this mat has many nice features. Grommets on the corners allow the mat to be staked down in high winds. The mat has rubberized elbow and knee pads, and it comes with both a carry handle and a convenient shoulder strap.

This would be a useful, inexpensive holiday gift for a junior shooter, or anyone who needs a basic mat for High Power, tactical, or F-Class competition.
