Remove the seat, shoot modified prone.
That seat is all kinds of dumb.

i was there long enough to watch a few try sitting to shoot ,it was somewhat comical .these spools were put there apparently with the thought they would be better than the T shape benches that were there .

Supposed to be done like this.
I guess I'd see if I could repurpose some of that wood to use as forms...
I don’t like t shaped benches. I want to sit square behind the rifle. Other than the table being too high, that looks fine.
brainstorming experiment number 2 . it raised 3'' . should also work better with lead sled . I don't use lead sleds ,waiting for input on that. . so far this had been my favored fix. could maybe cut the wings off . so many nails to cut through I opted to let it ride for now

Use the seat to extend the base. Then get a chair.
My home range has benches and stools built by a guy who must be a foot and a half shorter than me. IMO the benches need to be about 10 inches higher or the stools 10" lower.

Fill it full of concrete.
Maybe run some strapping at a diagonal around the spool to try to reduce the torsional flex. Use lots of screws.

I hope I can still throw people on the ground and choke the piss out of them at 70. But, I’m a few years shy yet.
Benchrest still ain’t shootin’…
Maybe if you weren't so fat and out of shape it wouldn't be a mystery
Lol open your eyes. It's a fudd gun club. Everything they do is wrong
ya ,umm ,you should realize a person could do all that in front of the benches . is laying down better than a setting down bench ?
ok sure you are free to practice what ever form of stance you want . now tell anyone that comes to shoot that it must be done your way .that's as bad as one guy saying he doesn't like T shape benches so every one must set at the bench way he likes it .
The earth is more stable than any wooden bench. Shooting prone allows you to get your whole body mass behind the rifle. Yea, shooting from the ground has several advantages over shooting from even a well made bench.
But, a T bench is not a well made bench. The arrangement encourages a bladed shooting position that is not conducive to proper recoil management. Even shooting “modified prone,” centered up in the middle of the bench, a T bench is rarely wide enough for good elbow placement on the bench.
The bench in question may be worse than a T bench. I can envision a creative PRS stage involving such an abomination.
My solution to the “t” bench. At least a portable “t” bench. Turn that sucker around. Yep, at times I have to move th bipod back (when using a bipod) but that’s what ARCA adaptors are for.
However, it seems the world is married to that marvel of mucked up shooting, the t bench with the shooter all but besides the rifle instead of behind it.
It's a good thing the seat pivots on a.....well.....a pivot. At 6 o'clock position your shoulders are square behind the gun. Gives more real estate for the bipod/front rest. Rear bags don't require a ton of room.
