Here can be a thread about all the mods that has been done to shooting benches, if you are like me, it seems that i get something and as soon as I use it i needs to be modified for what my needs are, so i started with a Birchwood Casey swivel shooting bench
but it was too short so I added 8 inches to the front , then added a 1/2 rubber to the top 3X4 ft bought it at Tractor supply then added swivels on the legs like you see on a ladder it gave me a 3-inch footprint instead of 1.5 inches , then i split the tube for the table and made it so you have 2 inches of travel , so I should be good for any angles to level out the table , so the other mods i did was add a slide in tray on the right side , added a 12 volt fan , i use a air pump to cool my barrels if they get too hot , a lot of my shooting is suppressed , my air pump is a 110 / 12 volt that you use to blow up an air mattresses , on the power for the fan & pump I use either my Dewalt or Craftsman's 20 volt batteries , I use a 7-70V 30A PWM DC Motor Speed Controller Switch Control 12V 24V 36V 48V 30 Amp to control the power it takes the 20 volt batteries down to 12 volt , the batteries can last all day and my big batteries can go for a couple of days easy . I also added an umbrella and on the left side there is a 1/2-inch rod that swivels out of the way, on that I use arca clamps and mount my range finder, camera or spotting scope. so, here's some of my mods, at my home i built a shooting shed 6X8X8 it's powered by 12-volt lights and fan and i use a solar panel to keep the battery fresh, I can move the shed with a tractor as needed with forks as i built it on a 6X8 skid. hope this gives others some ideas on mods on their benches. I would rather have than have not .
