Well constructed and should do the job! Maybe motorize it to move it to various distances.

My son built this for our home range. A little overkill for some. Works great. Needed a forklift to put in truck. Good thing he owns his own lumber company,! Right now under foot of snow.

Looks nicely solid; better a little "overkill" to keep it together since it sits outside. Thumbs up! :) I like it.

BTW, did your son use decking screws? Our wood deck was built with nails, and as it has aged the sticking-out nails are becoming a prob.

A set of wheels and a V8 and it's all done.... :)

Very well built for sure!

Looks great, and sturdy! If not treated though, definitely throw a tarp over it. Should last for years!...I like it...☺

That is a great looking bench. :) I almost built a decent shooting bench a few years ago, but after pondering it for awhile and realizing I already have enough obstacles to mow around, and that I'd only use it occasionally - like maybe once or twice a year - I decided not to. Most of my regular practice sessions are defensive handgun anyway, usually on the move and/or various positions, and I don't reload so no need to work up various loads for rifle or pistol.
