Shooting table for air rifles by John Green
This item can be built from recycled items in your workshop/
garage. The top should be 12mm multiply
but as its 1m long by 700mm wide and the cut-out section is
400mm by 400mm. I did not have a piece
this big so looking at a sheet of 7mm hardboard I made a wooden
batten frame to support the
hardboard to try it out and see if it would do the job.
The front leg frame is a reworked trestle and the rear leg also
ex the trestle. The table height is 800mm
I needed to make the legs re-moveable for storage so they bolt
onto the top. The triangular gussets
made from 12mm multiply were added to brace the front leg frame
and later a brace between rear leg
and front leg frame was added.
The shooting table is stable enough to use until I can find some
12mm plywood for the top.
The cushion is used for spring air rifles and the rifle rest for
PCP/CO2 . Springers can also be supported
by the rifle rest after shooting.
