Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Shooting Benches...Let's see them

Here's a couple of my portable shooting benches:

I welded up this one using 2" square tube and 6" C-purlin. It's very stable and can easily be lifted in and out of a truck bed. I added the ammo cans and keep targets, stapler and shooting bags in them. We leave it at the deer lease and just drag it to whatever shooting distance we want.

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 pour 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.

not real mobile, must be a bear to move out varmint shooting... but I bet its solid once you get it set up.
