To make the bench slick, I lined the concrete form with plastic trash bag and for the top, I use a piece of shower paneling inside of the form. The top of the bench came very slick almost like granite. The bench top weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 340 lbs. At some point, I may our a pad and put a roof over the bench. I also may do something different than cinder blocks it's sitting on. As it sits, I can shoot out to 400 yards. I'd like to get a dozer in to be able to shoot out to 600 yards.

Let's see your bench.

Sweet location Devnull.

It looks like a good range to see some whitetails.
400 Aint too bad for the hill country either.
It looks like it would produce some hay. That's a lot to keep clean.
