In this video, I’m testing a set of shooting blocks to see how well they work as a simple and portable support for PCP airguns. I’ll be using the Umarex Notos G2 for the test and taking a closer look at how stable the blocks are, how easy they are to position, and whether they make a practical addition to a backyard shooting setup.

These shooting blocks can be arranged in different positions to support an airgun from the bench, making them an interesting alternative to a traditional shooting rest or shooting bags. I’ll show you the different configurations, put them to use with the Notos G2, and share my thoughts on where I think they work well—and where they might not.

Although I’m testing them with the Umarex Notos G2, the concept should work with many other PCP airguns and air rifles depending on their size and configuration.

If you're putting together a backyard range or looking for an inexpensive and versatile way to support your airguns from the bench, hopefully this test helps you decide whether shooting blocks are worth adding to your setup.
