DIY portable shooting bench

[tikka250]

So lately i have been getting tired of having to shoot off bipods or bags when out shooting gophers so i decided to make a lightweight portable shooting bench and here it is.



All i used was some old banquet table legs salvaged off a broken table in the yard at work and a scrap piece of plywood cut to size. I plan on cutting some grooves to lean guns against it as well as some thin carpet to keep stray brass from rolling off.
Here it is in the field.


Its not amazing on unstable ground but once flat it makes a great bench.

With a bit of cutting and welding, could you modify one set of 'legs' so that you end up with a 3-footed table?

You also need to cut some slot/cuts so that when you put your riles on ground, they have a snug fit at the barrel and the guns won't fall down.

I am having a hangover so I don't know if my English is undesttanble or not.

Looks like a good set up.Maybe add a cushion to the chair,and a cup holder to the table..

Hmm maybe? It would probably take a lot of cutting and welding but im sure it would be possible

Yea a cupholder is a good idea i might do that when i cut the grooves for the other 2 rifles

I find a large cooler works well as a table as well..

I agree with the leg mod. If the rear set only had 1 foot it would be way easier to make stable on uneven ground. Of coarse the other option would be to make the legs adjustable.

A three legged stool is always stable.
