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 .Fix what exactly?
I C ,you don't like the stock to set on a sand bag ?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.
The butt extends behind the bench edge.I C ,you don't like the stock to set on a sand bag ?
What he said ^^Remove the seat, shoot modified prone.
That seat is all kinds of dumb.
ya well it could be difficult getting 100 other shooters to agree with you. many not so young but set in their waysRemove the seat, shoot modified prone.

i really dont understand a fascination of laying down ,often in the dirt . and then having to stand up there's no joy in that .no thank you .Turn the bench 90 deg? Or, roll out your shooting mat next to the bench and shoot prone.
Benchrest isn’t even shooting, but people do it anyway. Horses for courses and all that.i really dont understand a fascination of laying down ,often in the dirt . and then having to stand up there's no joy in that .no thank you .
you dont talk like a man of 70 yearsBenchrest isn’t even shooting, but people do it anyway. Horses for courses and all that.
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.you dont talk like a man of 70 years
Maybe if you weren't so fat and out of shape it wouldn't be a mysteryi really dont understand a fascination of laying down ,often in the dirt . and then having to stand up there's no joy in that .no thank you .
oh that hurt ,all two hundred pounds of meMaybe 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 wrongFix what exactly?
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 ?Move that wood monstrosity out of the way so you can shoot standing.
Then put down a mat and shoot sitting, kneeling and prone. Simple.
Or get a 50 pound front rest for F-class if you are over 95. . .
Wait a minute...I watched 3 times...was she really building something? Dammit now I'm going to have to watch again.Umm. You have to watch a coulple times but she is building a shooting bench.
yep it was a bit cold in the shopWait a minute...I watched 3 times...was she really building something? Dammit now I'm going to have to watch again.
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.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 .

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.
This is how I do it also.View attachment 8532926
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.
