: My basic shooting table.
: December 08, 2007, 03:41:51 PM
Heh, I went to my local hardware store to look for a table to replace my old biestro one because it wasn't big enough.  I didn't find anything which looked like it would work, so I came home and built my own.  I started with a small sheet of 1/4" (i think) plywood and cut a notch out of it.  Then I nailed a supporting strut underneath the part that hangs out past the old table so it wouldn't bend after much use.  Lastly I nailed a supporting piece to keep the back end steady.  The bricks on the side are to try and add weight to make the table more sturdy, and the two in the front are where I rest my gel shooting pad for a rest.  I tried it for an hour or two, and it works pretty darn well for >30 minutes of work and old junk I found around the yard.  Oh, the light is so I can shoot at night.  It's just an old lamp with a 80ft extension cord running to the house.  It JUST reaches!  I need to buy another cord so I can position it closer to the targets because from 10 yards away its not very bright.

The trap seems to be holding up well, still need to put some rubber or carpet in there.  And the last two are the view from my backyard, just so you could see it =D.
