DOA

https://submoashootingbench.com/

I made mine Rick Jamison had plans in Shooting Times many many years ago. It is like Tikanut's. Again, 3 legs for the most stable.

I really like the DOA rotating bench. Have had a lighter weight homemade one and a heavy duty caldwell but the DOA is more to my liking.

Just to muddy the water, here's an old thread about ideas for a tailgate benchrest.

I'll throw this one out again. Really like it.

pimp......grin


I built a Corian top to cover the maple on the br pivot bench. Solid surface with drip edges, should protect the butcher block from any rain or snow that blows under the porch....

Don,
That's classy right there.

Good dog!

My approach would be 4x8 plywood cut in half, glued and screwed to double or triple thickness. Use plumbers pipe and brackets for legs and attachment, three legs only. Instead of expense of offset brackets, I'd put washers under one attachment screw to get the offset angle I wanted. Sand, paint/cover, cut carry handle if desired, legs screw off for transport. All under $100 I'm betting.

That’s exactly what this is lol.

not quite as purty in the early morning sunshine, and won't weather as well....grin

That is sweet!

My FIL has a woodshop and can build anything. Rather than buy, I've got him a winter project thanks to all the input.

Made a benchtop spotter mount tonight. A short piece of angle aluminum c-clamped to the corian, with my window mount tightened to the angle. Danged if it don't work great......

Looks good.

What's the details on you shootin stick?

I like your shooting rest.

an update on the pivot bench.... I closed in the front of the shelf with a drop-down door because I had a big rain that blew under the porch and soaked the shelf carpet. Problem solved, as it happened again.... stayed dry inside.

I have https://knotholedesigns.com/ and am very happy with it

I had a couple $100 in points on the Cabelas card. The little brown truck dropped this oiff today. It is still in the box.

Shoulda burned them on something decent.....
