Original Special Operation Equipment’s upcoming shooting mat is a BYO setup that uses your standard issue 72″ x 24″ Therma-rest sleeping pad to comfernate your prone activities. It’s as simple as it looks in these preview photos. Just unzip the mat and slide your pad in. Just make sure you have someone around the LP/OP to keep you awake.

Keep an eye on OSOE’s Facebook page for the latest on this and other upcoming projects.
