Who hasn’t dreamed of having a professional-quality, permanent shooting bench on their own property? Well here’s an article that can help you make that dream come true. This “how-to” feature from the archives of RifleShooter Magazine shows how to build a quality concrete shooting bench step-by-step.
All aspects of the construction process are illustrated and explained. The author, Keith Wood explains: “Construction happened in three phases — first creating the slab foundation, then the support pillars (legs), and finally the table.”

This well written and photographed article was an excellent selection for the bulletin. Perhaps it will inspire someone to duplicate his bench. If they do, I think that they will find it well worth the effort and investment. Way to go.
Sweet… be the approach I’d take if I had the land to build myself a range. Folks who’re luckier than I am should take extra special care when laying out a foundation for such a project… be a crying shame getting it completed only to find it shoulda been angled 1° or 2° one way or the other from what got built… just saying.
Great article. Thanks for showing us what others can do.
I’d really like to build one of these, but unless I’m missing something there is not a single drawing or dimension included in this article. Sorta like saying: you want to build a car?? OK, here is a picture of one–have at it.
