Time to dust off the old shooting bench.
Since I just bought a new rifle I thought I had better get down to the shooting bench and clean it off. Didn't look too bad. Seems to be holding up pretty good. Looks like the shooting lane needs some trimming.
I built this about 10 years ago back in the woods in the only spot I could get a safe 100 yards. I hacked out a path through the trees and brush. It got a lot of use when I was into my contenders but in the past few years the only action it gets is when someone needs me to sight in a deer rifle. That's about to change.
Its pretty solid. My neighbor came into some old telephone poles and I was able to snag a section from him, they are setting on cinder blocks sunk into the ground' the rear is standard 4x6 that I think I also snagged from the neighbor as he was building a pole barn and had some short pieces. The floor and bench is 5/4 decking. Its hard to see but the ground slopes there pretty good so I had to dig it in on the uphill side so it wouldn't sit too high off the ground.

Not a lot of room to shoot through there but wind is never a problem.
