Rest your firearm on these bags o’ stuff and you’ll have a base so steady you’ll have no excuses when you miss the bull’s eye. You’ll get (2) bags, a 9" x 7" front support and a smaller rear support (for the stock), both in green camo.

You say, “Can I get I high-tech rope?” And the answer is yes. Once upon a fight gym, a jump rope was a jump rope. You’d seen one, you’d seen them all. But it’s a brand new day, friends, and our jump rope is adjustable for your height, and embedded with PVC for durability. Also has 360-degree no-tangle rotation assisted by ball bearings in the handles, which are padded with 6” of memory foam—like mattresses for your hands. In black, with maybe some red accents, maybe not, and would Marciano or Ali have cared?

Look up the word “callipygian” and then order our little drawstring bag with (5) exercise bands ranging from extra-light to extra-heavy resistance, all 2” wide.

They are widely regarded as the fastest way, other than genetic good fortune, to glutei maximi of steel. See the Internets for copious illustrated instructions.

Who could remember all that in the middle of a football game? Next time you're playing your kids in two-hand touch, keep track of the plays like generations of losing Chicago Bears quarterbacks with one of these cheaters. Our QB helper is a 6-1/2” long elastic-cloth wristband with a 4-3/4” x 2-3/4” clear plastic window. You’ve seen them in big games. The window is held down by a hook-and-loop tab and flips up so you have (3) sides/pages to write on. Also good for catchers, forgetful bass players, and anyone else who needs reminders.

Sir Paul McCartney probably has a personal trainer, but mere mortals such as you and I have to try and make it to the gym. But now, we can use these resistance bands, aka hip bands, to get in a workout anywhere—at home, in a hotel, on a long bus ride, even at the gym if you happen to make it there and don’t want to use their gear. You’ll get a set of (3) bands in different sizes and colors: mint green with a 25" circumference; gray with a 29" circumference; and black with a 33" circumference. Each band is 3" wide and made of a somewhat stretchy elastic/nylon mix. They all fit into a nice black mesh bag, too, about the size of a thick paperback novel.

This one’s for all you angling Surpies. It’s a handsome, durable 49" long x 11-1/4” high padded fishing rod case. Looks like nylon to us, and has zippered entry, outside pockets for accessories, and an adjustable shoulder strap. Pat’s taking one on vacation to keep his poles organized. Doesn’t mean he’s going to catch anything. He’ll have a great case, though. More time fishing, less time untangling!

How’s your racket these days? Don’t answer that—no way of knowing who’s listening. Uh, how’s your tennis game? Could be better, you say? Try this Tennis Trainer set with (2) balls, a weight and elastic string (approx 18 feet long unstretched), so your balls will come back to you. Kind of like tether ball, but for tennis.

If you ever get tennis elbow and quit the game, your dog will love this thing for fetch with added excitement.

Need a gross of laces for shoulder pads for under 14 cents each? You got 'em because we got 'em. Not a coach? Maybe a fabric artist, sneaker restorer, or clever crafter? Macrame wizard? Whatever--these are thin-ish white nylon (we think) round laces, 48” long with white aglets, which crossworders know are the little plastic tips for ease of threading. Our each is a bag of (144) laces which will have some yellow discoloration, (we'll call them yellow/white) but that's surplus!
