This trailer was designed by toddacguy and I. It is designed to still have the use of a flatbed trailer, while serving as a shooting tower that can fit in a standard garage.
We call it the M-STOMP (Mobile – Shooting Tower Observation Multi Purpose). That may or may not sound kinda cheesy, but I got sick of calling it 10 different things. So, it is the M-STOMP.
It is a 10’X5’ flatbed trailer with the deck above and 2 fold down wings on the side that are 2.5’X10’. When expanded, it makes a 10’X10’ deck. There are heavy duty quick-release jacks on all four corners that stabilize the tower. It makes it rock solid to shoot off of. The entire deck is elevated by a crank and a pulley system we designed. The cruddy ladder on the back is just what we are using for now. Outback welding is going to put a designated expandable ladder on the rear of it for us. It gets you 9 foot off the ground in 10 minutes.
You can easily put 4 prone shooters on this tower. This is going to be used for practice, competitions, hog hunting, varmint hunting, game surveys, etc. Basically anywhere you can get your truck or 4-wheeler into, we can yank this trailer in with it and get 9 foot off the ground to be up and over our surroundings.
This shows it folded up and lowered for travel.
The purple cammo on the 4-wheeler is special custom. It makes it worth three times as much.
You can also attach a Quick-Shade to it where it will not come off to make the shooting more comfortable.
The driver side wheel is actually suspended in the air because the road was uneven in this pic. The four jacks completely stabilize the M-STOMP. You can use the tongue jack as a fifth point of contact if needed.
We used it this match a little while ago. You can see there is no movement in the trailer when shooting or repositioning.

A view from atop the M-STOMP. It is just the right hight to get you up and out of the mirage for most conditions. It was extremely noticeable today after the straight week of rain we have had.
Anyway, we are pretty proud of it and have gotten a lot of good feedback from it. This will help facilitate a lot of hunting and shooting on inaccessible or difficult land. It’s pretty handy having it as a regular trailer running 70mph down the highway and then deploying it as fast as it does.
Oh and it isn’t for sale......
