Shooting Table (DIY)

[yz9890]

I made the tables out of 3/4" vinyl covered particle board. Once the shape was cut I cut 1"x1" angle iron to go around the perimeter to make it stiffer and to provide a lip to keep rounds from rolling off. The corners of the angle iron was welded and ground smooth. Then screws were used to attach it to the particle board. The legs are standard buffet table legs.

Dimensions of table.



I put scraps from the cutout under the front legs to raise the front and allow the front legs to fold over rear.

Are there times you wish the cutout was more than 6"?

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "vinyl covered?"

I'm tracking now, thanks.

Occasionally but not very often. When shooting prairie dogs you switch the angle so often that the table could be a rectangle and work almost as well.

The original design I used had cutouts on both sides, that might be why it was only 6".

If I was using it to shoot straight ahead at stationary target a bigger cutout would probably be better.
