Nice top, but get yourself something better to sit on.

Wow Rio,
That's quite a range. I don't think there's an 1,800 yard in our state. Your last name wouldn't happen to be Tubb?

I'll kick it off. I built a wooden shooting bench last year for the front porch at deer camp. This year, I decided on putting something in the field that would be there a while. This was my first attempt at a concrete slab bench. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. It took (4) 80 lb. bags of sakrete. I used hog panel wire for inside the concrete for support. 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.

High Noon,
Bought the office chairs at a auction, $10.00 apiece, bought 20 of them, I like them because they swivel and they go up and down, and they are on wheels easy to move around, they have worked out real well. Rio7

I don't have one here yet, but when I ws in Kotzebue, I used a clay sluff-bank on the beach, a few miles out of town. I could lay prone (at a 45 degree up-angle), and use the top of the bank for my "bench". Worked great. Very comfortable. I could shoot way farther than I would shoot, with the beach bank as a backstop down-range. I found these just below my "shooting bench" one day when I went down there. Winter time I just used the snow machine seat.
