LOL.. No the hose is there for my camper. Was shooting from my ranch house before going into my PD town for a week and thought I should take extra water.

204Dude is right about this one. I have shot off his table several times.

Seems to be pretty sturdy as well. I might camo it if it was mine, but that just me.

DOA benches.
And you have no complaints?

A few years back I purchased a device called a "BR PIVOT" made by a gentleman in Oregon.
He has since sold the design to a large company, but the thing once leveled turned the shooting experience into a 360 turret. No more having to move the bench when the angle changed. Several copies on the market today for less than I paid.

Skippy: Those BR Pivots are just the STUFF! Wish I was rich instead of just good lookin'!
We use benches we made similar to Claimbuster's and Outlawkyote's but ours are somewhere in between. They use 1 1/4" pipe legs. (I'll probably have to build something lighter when I get old and decrepid!

Mine is an angle iron triangle, with fittings welded in each corner. I copied the Stukey bench leg system. A lot stronger and more stable than pipe flanges or plate mounted nipples. There is a 'floating' nut in the top of the sleeve. A bolt is welded on the top of the leg, that screws into the float nut. A collar is welded to the leg, as a 'stop' when snug. Hope the pics make sense.....

Made these out of 2x10 yellow pine doweled together. Bought the legs from a wood working supply for $50. I threw away the little plastic caps that went on the bottom of the legs so they would sink in the ground to help level and stabilize the table. Took me about 8 hours to make 6 of these. Then I took the legs of old levi's filled them with playsand and zip tied the ends

What are your dimentions for your table? I like the Idea of the folding legs and I was thinking of a couple of plastic lawnmower wheels on the wide end to roll it on when folded up so I dont have to carry it

Chopper, the tables are 48"x 32". I made them to be used either right or lefty.They do weigh about 45# a piece so wheels would be nice. I carry mine on my shooting trailer and just drop the guys off with plenty of water, ammo and a two way radio.

Uh where did you get that idea? I am a life long resident and have never heard that... Lived here for 62 years..

Here are three I just made. Used buffet table legs and 3/4 melamine sheets. It is doubled up on the front to offset the legs for folding flat. Only cut out one side since both my boys and I shoot right handed. I have since added 1/8" x 1" angle iron to the edges to make a lip to keep stuff from rolling off.
