Tac-Mat Long Range Shooting Mat - Flat Dark Earth (FDE)

The Lyman Tac-Mat Long Range Shooting Mat in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) is purpose-built for shooters who demand a stable, protected shooting platform in the field. This long range shooting mat provides a large footprint to accommodate shooters of all heights while compacting down to a portable, easy-to-transport size—making it equally valuable at the range, in a shooting house, or during varmint hunting expeditions. The FDE color blends naturally into arid and transitional terrain while the protective surface shields you from dirt, rocks, wet ground, insects, and abrasive surfaces like gravel or hot truck beds.

At 36 inches long with a 14.5-inch width and 2-inch thickness when rolled, this mat balances coverage with packability. The 4.1-pound weight makes it easy to carry into backcountry terrain or stow in a pack. Long range shooting demands a consistent foundation—uneven ground, debris, and moisture can shift your position between shots or introduce unwanted movement. A dedicated shooting mat eliminates these variables, allowing you to focus on wind reading, elevation adjustment, and trigger control rather than managing your prone position. The mat's basic design offers reliable protection without unnecessary bulk.

This mat serves serious rifle shooters engaged in long range target practice, precision varmint hunting, or tactical shooting training. Whether you're working distance on prairie dogs, practicing for a hunting season, or building fundamentals at an outdoor range, ground conditions are a constant factor. FDE (Flat Dark Earth) finish suits hunters operating in western terrain, semi-arid environments, or anywhere neutral earth tones provide concealment advantage. Lyman offers this design in both standard and heavy-duty (HD) versions; the standard model provides solid protection at a lighter carry weight, ideal for backcountry hunts or situations where every pound matters.
