Look at what I built, reciever hitch shooting rest

[R.W.Dale]

In the past after getting frustrated with having to wait for one of two shooting positions to open at the 300m line I decided to build this little gem.

Works great! if you use a couple three cheap-O jackstands to stabilize the vehicle, and the boat seat is much more comfortable than those hard wooden benches.

Cool! Looks comfortable... Gonna wack some prarie dogs with the 'x39?

I have been wanting to borrow a welder and make something like that, but i never seem to have time....

 

[indoorsoccerfrea]

that's a pretty smart idea!

 

[Hardtarget]

I think it looks great! Pretty cool that you can back right up to the shooting line. That will work just fine until seven or nine others make one of those...and beat you to the parking space!

Seriously, looks like a well made bench and seems like you've smoothed out a bug or two to make it work even better. Good job!

Mark.

i had the same thought this past summer. i just do not have a way to build it.

 

[bthest86]

No more tailgaters for sure.

 

[ultradoc]

great idea.

 

[Starship1st]

That is Cool! You made it sturdy.

 

[ShadyScott999]

Gonna have to make on of those!

 

[John828]

Nice work, krochus. And who said Arkansans were not resourceful? Love the boat seat. I assume it swivels?

 

[heron]

That is downright slick. Nice job!

 

[Wolfebyte]

Love it!!

Adds new meaning to a tailgate party!

 

[Black Dime]

Cool. Get a patent.

If it gets too cold or hot you can just turn on the van and crank the ac/heat!

my van isn't that nice

The heat works OK but the AC just copes.



Thanks for the comments, I thought I'd share this one as ya'll may want to build something similar

 

[PryItFromMyColdDeadHands]

maybe patent the idea and all profits from sales go to pro-gun whatever of ypur choice?.....just an idea

 

[Grassman]

I noticed you have jack stands under the seat and the back bumper, does it hop around much?

 

[Owen Sparks]

That could be a very successfully commercial venture if you could mass produce them! Just give it a catchy name and get a website up.

 

[TH'er]

Thats pretty sweet. I like it.

 

[Gord]

It's already been patented, just Google. I know I've seen these being sold premade a couple times in the past.

krochus, how much did it run ya to make that thing?

 

[skidooman]

Very nice!!
I hate to do this, because people who always bring the negative get on my nerves, but you might want to check your local laws before building/buying something like this. I'm pretty sure that would be considered shooting from your vehicle, and here in Nevada, that is illegal.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

Very ingenious.

 

[misANTHrope]

Out of curiosity, why not just build a bench that sits on the ground and avoid dealing with the jackstands to stabilize the vehcle?
