So from time to time I will get asked to help people zero folks rifles for season or at least come over and shoot a lil for fun. What I've run into is when I go, usually I'm told they got a good set up to shoot from and it's really hardly ever the case. So today out of some scrap wood I had, I built a lil table that fits with my lil folding chair. It's 4' long x 27.5" wide. Not terribly heavy but enough it's sturdy and stable. Was wondering what you guys do for a portable set up. I know here in north Florida, everything is flat. So just on the ground with a bipod is hit or miss depending on vegetation. Most guys I've zeroed rifles for use a browning bar , 742 woodsmaster , or Remington 7600 or 760 being dog hunting is the southern tradition around here. Thus a table is needed. Should be good for the kids as well.

I just built three portable benches from 1 sheet of 3/4 plywood cut in half glued togethern 1.25 NPT flanges I bought from a seller on 24hourcampfire.com, and electrical conduit. They aren't exactly light weight and I need to figure out a way to transport the legs better. However they are pretty sturdy and large enough to give you ample room at the praire dog town or at the range.
A couple of different seating options and an umbrella to keep you shaded.

So, a few weeks ago I asked about various ideas for shooting benches; and I got a lot of feedback, most of which weren't exactly what I was ...

$55 for a set of 3 brackets, the rest is on you. You can build as cheap or as expensive as you want. I chose to spend a little more money to expedite things, and I made the bench top bigger.
I have about $250 in each bench with accessories.

I found myself in similar need when they closed our public range for the covid
dropped the coin for an official Stukey Bench…

having used it on the farm ever since, I wish I'd bit the bullet and bought one years ago. Its spendy, and worth every nickel.
Since then I made a long set of legs to make it a standing bench-so very nice for big recoil items.
He's a stand up guy, and does great work.
