This is actually how I used the Launch Pad the most. I needed to fire form 100 rounds of 309 JDJ rounds from a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hausofarms.com\/\">SSK-50<\/a> pistol (yes they are actually shipping and yes they are amazing) and after the first 20, it wasn\u2019t really fun anymore.<\/p>\n<p>After locking the pistol into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/gear-review-pig-saddle-and-pig0311-g-tripod\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pig Saddle,<\/a> not only did I save my wrist some ache, but also was able to get super steady behind the long eye-relief scope while zeroing the optic.<\/p>\n<p>Both rifle and pistol shooting highlighted the genius of the Launch Pad\u2019s design. Since it holds the firearm upright on a post, you can fully get behind the gun exactly as you would in a sport shooting or hunting situation. All of the cradle style rests require you to at least slightly alter your natural shooting position. But with the Launch Pad, you can hold the pistol fully out in front of yourself or you can lock the stock back fully into your shoulder. The value of this natural hold while still using a stable rest can\u2019t be overstated.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_542302\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-542302\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-542302 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-560x315.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-542302 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_172046-560x315.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-542302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Ultradyne Launch Pad also makes a great work\/cleaning vice for your rifle or pistol. Held in a vice, like the Pig Saddle I used, or by the gun\u2019s forward rail, you can store whatever tools or supplies you want in the weight tray while working with a stable gun.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Launch Pad itself weighs only 10 lbs. and is fairly compact, it\u2019s easy to pick up, store, and transport. It\u2019s also not so big that it takes up the entire shooting bench, or so long that it slides off the front or the back, as so many others do.<\/p>\n<p>The large tray can accommodate a wide range of heavy things to keep the firearm in place during recoil. Sandbags would be the most common, but you can also put barbell plates (and they have an attachment to keep them in place) random rocks, your range bang or whatever. I used my emotional support <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46Gk5BO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kettlebell<\/a>. And since the Launch Pad uses just a post to hold the gun up \u2014 not some kind of rack \u2014 you can use it with the tray either forward of the stock\/grip, or behind it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_542303\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-542303\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-542303 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-560x315.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-542303 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231017_171846-560x315.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-542303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ultradyne has included some little details that matter.
