Does anyone have plans or know of a location to get plans for a shooting bench or probably more like a shooting chair? This would be used primarily for handguns.
Is there such a thing as one designed for attatchement to a 2" receiver hitch?
I shoot in a pasture with cows so it must be portable. Cows will destroy anything left in their pasture. If I leave a paper target on the rack it will be gone the next day. I hang the targets from wire using clothspins. They eat the clothspins.

Jim,

Check the varmit hunting magazines. I know that I have seen similar types of portable rests. Have fun with the crows.

Jim,

You're sure those cows don't go, "Baaaaaaa"?

Thanks DOK. Both of those would work. Since it's just going to be for handguns, I think I'll make it more square.
About the baaaaa. Several years ago we had a dairy cow that was kept in a pasture beside US Highway 60. She got sick and died. The Vet did an autopsy and found an 8 ft square plastic tarp in her rumen. Assumed it had blown off of a passing vehicle and she just couldn't resist.

Well, it appears those Ozark cows would make our Ioway cows look like picky eaters.

No, that's just how they pre-wrap the meat and cheese these days. More efficient way to get bovine products to market, and supports most people's theory that 'meat comes from the supermarket wrapped in plastic....'

 

[Old Jim]

Yeah, and if the're Iowa cows they come pre-frozen.

We best be careful as we could disillusion those meat eaters that are concerned that hunters kill for their meat!
