Portable shooting bench? - 02/26/22
I'm was looking for design inspiration online and found this in an image search with the following description.
Does anyone have experience with one of these. The only reason I'm considering it is I have an extra tripod.

"Troutman Custom Table: The shooting bench I used before the Stable Table, was one I purchased back in the early 1990s, that we call the Troutman Custom Table. This table was made by an individual who advertised in the first issues of the (now defunct) Varmint Hunter Magazine. His name was Jim Troutman, and his table was made to be portable, and adjustable. For the time, it was an ingenious idea, that can be duplicated today by folks who take the time to track down parts. This table consisted of a tripod, with a large metal screw mounted to the top of the three legs. The legs were adjustable both in height, as well as extension. The large screw I mentioned, screwed into a milled aluminum block that was mounted to the bottom of the table. Although the table top could be loosened, and moved while shooting, it was not enough to expand your field of fire. The table top had a hole to carry it, and would attach to the tripod with a screw. I used this table as my main shooting bench, for almost 20 years, until I bought the Stable Table."
