If you are looking for wooden shooting bench plans, you have come to the right place. But first, I need to tell you, I cannot sell you one. I have been looking all over the net for shooting bench plans to buy but it seems like I always get redirected to a site that sells already made shooting bench.
Those are nice but I rather build one myself and save money. So I have a free shooting bench plan for you today that you can use right away to build your shooting bench!
Below the plan you will find some helpful resources about shooting, hunting and informative guides.
The project takes about 3 hours to make and cost $120.00 in material including treated wood and screws.
Thanks to the guys at
http://www.horstguns.com/ShootingBench.htm for the free plans.
Enjoy!
The Material List:
(6) 2x6x8
(4) 5/4x6x8 decking boards
(1) 6x6x10
(2) lbs 3" deck screws
(1) lbs 2" deck screws
(If the dimensions listed below are used, there will be very little wasted lumber)
Tools Required:
circular saw
screw gun
square
level
tape measure
pencil
rasp for easing edges
shovel
post hole digger
eye/ear protection
General Dimensions:
The top is 36" wide by 54" long.
The bench is 32" high, the seats are 14" from the ground, making this
a very comfortable position for precision bench rest shooting.
Shooting Bench Details:
The bench accommodates both right and left hand shooters. It is anchored
in the ground 9", but only with dirt back filled around the post to ease
portability if it ever needs to be moved. The bench is rock steady, even
without concrete anchoring, as the 6x6 legs add significant stability.
The minimum use of supports means easy ingress and egress from the
shooting position, (no skinned knees from rapping your legs against
cumbersome supports!)
