I like it. It should shrink your groups. Especially if you just hung a target on the wall there.

Devnull: Man does that bench look sturdy - and ambidextrous as well.
Good for you.
It also looks heavy - do you have to move it somewhere or are you going to shoot from there?
Thanks for sharing.

Is that where it sits or are you moving it somewhere else. That's where it'll be for now. If I get some initiative, I'll put it in the back field where I can shoot farther and build some cover and a concrete pad. However, I do like the convenience of right out the front door.

I don't know about prairie dogs (wish it were). However, that porch has taken more than its fair share of groundhogs. I got tired of shooting from a rickety patio table. Thanks all for the kind words. Just went back and saw the hill in the background... My mistake on the Prairie Dogs..Not really prairie is it.. Well done. Looks solid a good place to sit and wait for the hog heads to pop up... Have fun!

Looks great and hell for stout. I think I'd need an ass extension to use it.

It looks just like one I built several years ago except I put railroad ties in the ground for the uprights. Everyone that used it said that it was great.
For a mobile bench all you need is a black & decker workmate. Put a 2x6 in the jaws and add bags and a 5 gallon bucket to sit on and shoot.

I am so jealous of everyone of you m'f'ers that have the land and opportunity to shoot whenever you want, plus seems like 90% of the people that post pictures here have a mountain in the background of where they live.
That's a heavy duty bench. good stuff

Yes, it's pressure treated pine. I may paint or stain it at some point. The wood is still really wet. Also, I did sand down all edges after the photos. As far as location, it might stay there for the time being; As you all know, rednecks should be able to shoot and piss off the front porch.
Very nice. Looks really sturdy. Wish I could shoot off my back patio with one. I wouldn't want to be moving it much, though.
