Let’s see your shooting benches

[Hausser]

Let’s see everyone’s shooting benches. I have always used my lifetime white plastic table. Been shooting with a buddy who is on this forum @IDShane and he uses a modified shooting bench , curious on what everyone uses since I am now in the market for a shooting bench.

Mine was one of my sawhorses. Used to shoot with my kids in a gravel pit, it was the right height to teach them with when they were young. I would make a line in the gravel for the 'firing line'.

Looks great

Your bench is very close to the one I made but without the space under it for the guns, I bought heavy duty industrial grade broom clamps to put under it so you can un-screw the legs and clamp them under the top makes it very portable as a unit. Still looking for a suitable scissor jack, I am going to make a rest like yours.

Genius!

Those scissor jacks can be had cheap at junkyards.

Yep, looks very similar to the one I made.

I added drilled-out blocks to store the legs in, and have since covered the top in Corian. Less prone to weathering out..... Also, mine is ambi for my lefty boys and I built the rear 'ear' narrow. The bench above with the wide backend would make my elbow sore on a long session. Much more comfortable to kind 'hook' your elbow over the edge....

this one isn't mine, but they work great & usually free from your local power company. But of course, not real mobile if you don't have your own permanent place to shoot.

Pretty much exactly the same as mine.

Before I retired, I was a state certified firearms instructor we used the exact same set up for rifle quals and training. Very stable and weather resistant.

I also made mine Ambi as I am left-handed and the son and my best buddy shoots right-handed. I like this style very sturdy and east to set up and take down, also rather easy to transport, It will make the trip to Wyoming this fall, if we tag out and have some time left will declare war on the prairie dogs.

Any chance that I could a pic of the bottom of this bench? I have a friend back in Wisconsin that wants to build one like this.

Not super clean welding those cast couplings. The heavy legs add a lot of stability.

I know, he took his glasses off. I found a drummers seat is perfect especially since I use benches at a few different places and mine.
