NICE!
Urbanity is starting to dictate travel to the howling desert in order to shoot farther than golf-putt yardage. That looks compact and light enough to not impede too much with the other crap that needs to go in the trucks.
What's your thoughts on converting the attachment to wing nuts and carriage bolts? Might make for a more compact transport package, plus I have some left-handed friends who survived the "should-be-drowned-at-birth" edict, so ability to flip the top over might have occasional benefits.
It may be a bit more compact apart, but, once it lays flat, you only have the folded horse taking up any real space. The only real benefit to it coming apart, is you could choose what space the horse occupies.
As for the lefties, that would be a benefit since it’s too late to drown them.
Only issues is the space where the nuts would be. It would be damn snug. I think if I was going to go the disassemble for mongloid route, I’d just grab a 7/16 nut driver and leave it in the shooting bag.

Just made my top from a piece of 3/4 plywood I had laying around. Already have the sawhorse. Gotta get mounting bolts and varnish the top.

So I made one. No pics yet. Seems very handy. Thanks for the idea. Gonna have the boys on it soon. My oldest is very motivated to hunt soon. Think I'll get him on some squirrels this year, or next.

What do you use for a seat on the ground where you are set up? Looks very uneven.
Also, what is the height of your bench top?

This chair is similar to what I use. Mine has arms. You can adjust the height on the legs on the Bauer brand sawhorse.

Mine is similar as well, no arms.
As Rougerfan said, the legs are adjustable.
