@JG. They are, but you would only have a 24" sq area to rest rifle. Also notice the perimeter leg bracing. There is a voided area to allow a right handed shooter the room to get close to rifle.

Somebody gotta draw me a picture, I can't see this working for a lefty by rotating it.

Rough, but I think like this. (Shooter sits in the 2x2 cut out either way)

As Gomer Pyle said to Sargeant Carter, Gawwwaawwleee.

Everyone with an outdoor range ,EH'Em, there's one in Sanger I know of, and another in Fossil Pointe , and, another in Carthage should have a few of these on their long ranges

I built a really good, heavy, one with pipe legs with directions off 24 hour Campfire . The guy was selling the best brackets I've ever seen.

A good shooting mat is the best as stated: except for old farts with herniated disks in their necks. Mine are good for about 2/20 round relays with rest in-between. But it takes three men to help me up

Exactly

Yeah, LH or RH if you move the bench. I prefer mine to have the legs in the ground.

No idea what it cost but my uncle gave us a similar one, framed in steel with bolt in lumber. Shot off of it earlier this year and it was pretty nice. It does have a chair attached that we didn’t have any issues with, shooters from 10-60 years old did great. Also had a left/right side which I liked as a shooter and spotter could sit at same time and a lefty and righty could shoot without moving. For us it makes a difference, my daughter is left handed and my son shoots left handed as he is left eye dominant.

I'm just glad to know that I accidentally designed a bench that will work for right or left hand shooters.

Gotta have a price increase for that.....

I built one similar years ago. I used galvanized fence post for legs and concreted them into the ground. The legs is the only thing left now, gonna rebuild in a few weeks. Mine is ambi though, it's 6' wide and has a 2'x2' "U" cut out of the center. Thought about a T, but like the U better. No moving a righty's gear to shoot mine (lefty) or vice-versa.

I like the one that JG has, the metal portable one. Except when you lift it over your head and a leg falls out and hits you in the head.

I appreciate all the comments, input and suggestions. Thanks. Now that I've learned it will work ambi with an easy rotation I won't make changes. I wanted it some what portable. I can easily load and unload this from the Ranger or pickup bed. As for the size, it's chepaer and less labor intensive to work with a 4' plan. There is very little waste when working with the available stock lengths, such as the legs that come from 6' 4" x 4".

You often hear people walk through craft fairs and say to someone, "I could make that." Truth is, very few if any will ever actually do it.

Slap some paint on them and ask for $300.

Unfortunately it gets less portable as we get older…..

I think your price is fair for sure. I know how many people pay people like us to build things for them, my business depends on people NOT doing the DIY thing on decks and patio covers. I have built a shooting bench myself and put it next door at my neighbor's range. Nice work on yours!

Thanks

It will work for a left or right handed shooter without rotating. Set it diagonally pointed down range. I have a lefty stopping by this evening, We'll have him test my theory. I set up on it left handed, worked for me .

….

Another good option is to add skid-runners to the legs. I've seen benches with skids easily moved around with a lawn tractor or atv if the ground is even.

Works equally well for a left handed shooter when rotated, my lefty shooting friend gave it a sit. Also, turned diagonally pointed down range will work ambi.

Most people that buy will use it for themselves 90% right handed. When they have a guest or family member that needs to shoot left hand, give it a spin or sit it diagonally.
This one is spoken for. I’ll build another in a week or so and put in classifieds for $250.00

I have one ambidextrous and three left handed one of various sizes depending on situations

Do the legs thread in, or slip fit?

According to their web site, the ambi is unavailable, and will be sold at an increase over the last offered price of $475.00 if and when they have them available.

What I build is not as portable, but a very solid, square bench. I can easily get this in and out of the bed of my Ranger or truck by myself.

The legs slip for alignment then thread. Yes you have to ask for ambidextrous. I was the Guinea pig on some of the design changes as he started that’s why I have several.

That's a nice set up.
