Default Homemade shooting bench.

Does anyone know of a site or have the plans to make a good portable shooting bench. I would like to make it out of mostly wood and be light enough to throw in the back of the truck to drive up in the mountains and shoot. Rifle range here gets way to busy at times and I don't have the money to buy a fancy store bought one. I have a sled to use and could probably figure it out on my own but was hoping for some plans to go off of. Thanks.

You might do with a fold up table from walmart and a good fold up chair.

That is a great DIY project,only problem is by the time you buy all the materials, you could probably buy one.covering one with some old carpet or material would make that table really nice.

I won the IL PRB bench shoot in 1978 with a modified wood ironing board and I still use it when I shoot on my hunting property [ we have one built out of 4x4 and planks on the rifle range].
