A friend of mine shoots with me, and his neck doesn't work well with prone shooting. For this reason, and also because I just want one, I want to build a bench.
I thought about buying pressure-treated wood, but then I realized woodworking is a pain in the butt compared to welding, so I plan to weld up a frame and bolt wood to the top. It should be much faster and give me a lighter bench which is strong and easier to move.
I thought it would be a good idea to create a high bench because my friend is tall, but I just saw a Youtube video in which a sniper said to try to lean forward at a bench so you're horizontal to the rifle. He said this was key to recoil management.
Naturally, I wondered: what's a good height for a bench top? A typical table is around 29".
