A squeeze bag, a pillow bag and a Game Changer are three different sizes of rear support: the squeeze bag is small and held in your support hand, the pillow bag is a bag you can use at the front or the rear, and the Game Changer is a large fill bag used by most of the top PRS shooters surveyed. Which one you need depends on whether you are walking, shooting from a bipod, or shooting a match.
The squeeze bag
LS Wild describes the squeeze method this way: grip the stock between thumb and first finger and squeeze with the other fingers to raise or lower it. The bag sits under the toe of the stock.
It is small and carries on the rifle or in a pack. It is also the type Sling Steady makes: a rear shooting rest bag that sits under the stock. One technique note from Outdoor Life (John B. Snow, updated 2023): squeezing a rear bag works, but it is hard to hold for long periods and the author found it less consistent than a mechanical adjuster. That is a fair limit to know before you buy any squeeze bag.
In our testing, shots landed 28% closer to the bullseye with Sling Steady under the stock, and muzzle rise was about 75% lower. It also helps manage recoil.
The pillow bag
LS Wild lists its Pack Pillow for use as front, rear or positional support. It has sewn loops on both sides, so it feeds onto a pack's compression straps. It weighs about 3.7 oz and costs $75.00, as listed on 4 Nov 2026.
If you want one bag that does several jobs and rides on a pack, a pillow bag is a good fit.
The Game Changer
The Game Changer is a Reasor Precision design, and Armageddon Gear is its producer. A retailer lists it with standard beads at 7 lb or SpexLite at 1.5 lb, and does not say whether that is filled or empty. The same listing gives an MSRP of $124.95. These Game Changer figures are retailer-only, because the maker's page could not be read.
A Precision Rifle Blog survey of the top 200 PRS shooters, published October 2024, found over 99% used a Game Changer (77%) or a WieBad Fortune Cookie (23%), and the article says top shooters prefer a bipod plus a rear bag whenever a stage allows. The survey is of match shooters, not hunters.

Which rear support do you need
You walk a long way and shoot from field positions. A squeeze bag or pillow bag fits. Compare the carry method: pack, tether or the sling.
You shoot matches from a bipod. The Game Changer and the WieBad Fortune Cookie are what the survey shows top shooters using.
You want the bag on the rifle. Sling Steady rides on your sling or attaches directly, and the Pro 9" and Sport 7" are squeeze bags that ship filled with SteadyFill. Both cost $89.99, are patented (US 12,339,095) and are made in the USA. Sling Steady is a veteran-run company.
If a squeeze bag is the one you need: the Pro 9" or the Sport 7".
