Awesome bench! I was thinking about making one later down the road, and wasn't sure of a design. Thanks mjfa :agree:

I think its excellent! I shoot on uneven ground, so have made mine with a tripod leg arrangement, and diagonal bracing. My top is just a triangle though, maybe I'll take a saber saw to it, and scoop out the shooting positions. Sorry, no pics or plans, I'm a more of a carpenter than an engineer. :-D

I just bulit a bench based on these plans. I got the folding legs from Northern Tool and the plywood panel and bolts from Home Depot. Total build time was less than two hours, not including the coat of cammo paint for wood protection.
It is suprisingly solid, folds flat enough for car trunk carry and is light enough to carry out to the varmit hunt.
