Caldwell Lead Sleed DFT 3 Shooting Rest

Maximum Stability and Minimal Recoil with the Caldwell Lead Sled DFT 3 Shooting Rest.

The Caldwell® Lead Sled DFT 3 represents the next evolution in recoil‑reducing shooting rests, engineered for shooters who demand precision, comfort, and compatibility with modern rifles.

Building on the proven dual‑frame technology of the original DFT, this upgraded design relocates the twin tubes beneath the weight tray, offering superior clearance for detachable magazines, pistol‑grip stocks, and lever‑action rifles.

Eliminate the Variables That Make You Miss!

With smooth, bench‑rest‑grade adjustments and exceptional recoil absorption, the DFT 3 delivers consistent accuracy shot after shot.

Step‑by‑Step Operating Instructions

1. Component Verification

Ensure all parts are accounted for, including the weight tray, adjustable feet, cradle assembly, sliding rails, hardware, and any included tools.

2. Base & Tray Setup

Attach the feet and weight tray to the main chassis using the provided bolts and nuts, creating a stable and level foundation.

3. Cradle Mounting

Position the cradle on the sliding rail system and fine‑tune the tension using the adjustment levers to achieve smooth, controlled movement.

4. Securing the Firearm

Place the rifle or shotgun firmly into the cradle, then load the tray with appropriate weight to effectively counter recoil.

5. Elevation & Windage Adjustment

Use the precision elevation wheel and windage knob to align the firearm’s point of aim with the target, enabling accurate sight or optic zeroing.

6. Firing Procedure

Shoot with the firearm fully supported in the sled. After each shot, inspect the grouping and make incremental adjustments to maintain consistent accuracy.

7. Breakdown & Storage

Remove any added weight, detach the cradle and tray, and store the components neatly for easy transport or long‑term storage.
