    Bench Build

    My good mate and myself built a bench on his farm in 45mins with what was lying around pretty much.
    we have gongs at 150yds/200/300/350/400 yds that can all be shot from this bench, next time we are free we will be building a 100yd zeroing frame with a 6" gong underneath. The bench suites our style and height excellently and were stoked how well it turned out for a couple of rough buggers.

    The target measured half a moa at 730 mate so not very big.
    I'm not sure how big the smaller gongs are must be about 15 inches I suppose and start at 500 two way out there.
    The big plates are for 1000-1400-1800 I can tell you at 1800+ those plates look very small
    Your bench looks the bizzo we had a table but the bulls wrecked it, We mainly just used it for zeroing guns. @338 was supposed two be engineering us a concrete monster for up there.
