    Portable shooting table

    I've been playing around trying to make a portable shooting table for our range one that collapses down and can be used for left and right hand shooters, as we have a couple of members that can't shoot prone.
    It's all out of 1 sheet of 18mm ply.

    Looks identical to the one manufactured here by a local gunshop you can flip the table and seat sells for $300. Good job.
    It's not all of them, but it's always them.

    That's plurry clever. Neat bit of kit to have around.

    I've always been keen on building one of these. Working on getting a big enough one at present.

    Care to drop a link? Have found a couple but wouldn't mind checking if it's the same as yours, looks handy.

    I only managed to find this drawing but it wasn't quite right and I had to convert it to mm I might do a drawing with correct measurements on it and I'll try and find the you tube clip about it.

    Here's mine, it's a folder with piano hinge joints, but it's pretty heavy to handle folded. I like your design better and would be keen on plans.

    I really like how he uses dowls instead of cutting out square slots

    Thanks for the link , I've redrawn it myself just now with slightly nicer MM dimensions (like 50mm instead of 51, etc.) and a wider benchtop as you mentioned.

    Going to go pickup a sheet of ply now, new tracksaw & router, and after a test build i'll get the plans tidied up to upload here.

    There is one measurement that is wrong I think.
    It says 6" for the height of the seat on the main body but it's not correct it needs to be the same height as the other bit that becomes the seat
    I would also use dowls instead of the squares to locate the top and the seat.
