Y’all have different expectations from shooting benches than I do.

I want heavy and bomb proof. Y’all want easily transportable. 🤔

You’re spoiled with a place you CAN have a heavy bomb proof bench.

Amen! Let’s see a section of flat AZ land, canopy over a concrete bench and an ATV. Ahhh Christmas is coming I’ll add it to my wishlist

Needs the top permanently mounted, some sanding and sealing but that’s the basic idea. Pretty steady too. Much needed upgrade.

You know, you can build a bomb proof bench out of steel you can flip into a truck or UTV. They are heavy, but doable. I have one and am building a second. Just gotta have nuts or a second person to load it in a vehicle. Doable and effective.

Or, live with regret. 😎

You do realize there’s zero chance your attempted Jedi mind trick is having any effect on me, right?

I ain’t blowing nuts out, relying on a second person, and taking up an entire truck bed for a bench.
Will. Not. Happen.

Hummmm, everywhere? Not even 35 mins away from my son’s place I went on a dirt road off the highway (one of many) that goes 10s of miles into BLM land with offshoots into the desert in every direction. Didn’t see a soul all day and drove past dozens of places where I could have easily shot 1,000 yards. My new app on my phone has helped me find dozens of these.

Plus I’m shopping for land an in Northern AZ there a hundreds of listings for acreage for cheap. So I’m paying attention to this thread because I’ll be needing a portable but solid bench I can throw on the bed of the Jeep.
