Protabkle Shooting Bench for kids

[brianf]

morning guys, looking for a portable bench for kids

never used one before but since the kids love shooting the Vudoo so much i should probably get one

rather not build one

looked a bunch of pics online and it looks like most shooting benches have a very short table top

for the guys who use them can you use a bipod and rear bag

im not into using a shooting rest or sled

thanks

I have a Caldwell Stable Table. I call it an unstable table. You can't use a rear bag very well. It's a rectangular table top and nowhere to put the rear bag.

I made my own with a few pieces of 3/4" plywood and some folding picnic table legs from the hardware store.

If you want sturdy look into Sturk's. I built one similar years ago and it works well. Here's a link. https://www.shootingbenches.com/

I know you wanted premade but without spend major money on the Stukey bench everything else is kinda rickety.

I am very happy with it.

I bought the leg brackets ready made on Ebay ~ $50 deliveered

Heavy, but very stable

I know you said bench however, I taught my boys to shoot off a Caldwell tripod. Very adjustable for each ones size and the transition to using it hunting was a plus. Works great in the blind too.

Booger bench.

Booger bench years ago there was a web site with what the man called the booger bench shooting bench with all the sizes and the whole ball of wax to build one. There were still building a lot of homes around here at that time so OI stopped in at a building site and asked about scrap stuff...

I made mine from these plans. I must have used scraps because my dimensions are slightly smaller.

I made a second one. I just screwed a piece of 2 by 12 to the bottom and fastened the legs to it. You could probably make one of these in 15 minutes.
