[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3045211, member: 122164"] If you are going to shoot dogs at some range, you need to get your elbow supported on a tabletop, this also provides you with a MUCH greater chance of seeing your hits I made my benches out of 1.5" thick plywood and purchased the leg brackets from a guy on 24hrcampfire. You could make a 3 or 4-leg version and I preferred the Four-leg version. I went to Home Depot and got the legs cut and threaded, 1.5" pipe. You could put a 300 lb Buffalo Heffer up on the tabletop doing a lap dance and the table was SOLID. A handle installed on the front and back of the table allowed for easy transport. I nailed some carpet on the bottom to act as holders for the legs as you screw them on and off. I put carpet on top of mine and had some V notches on the right-hand side to lean rifles up against. A drummer's stool is my favorite chair. It is aggravating to put a little pressure on the top of the tabletop and watch the cross-hair dance, a 1.5" tabletop does not budge the cross-hair. [/QUOTE]
