Guide to Buying a Portable Shooting Bench

A portable shooting bench can provide the perfect stability needed to improve your accuracy whether you are planning on hunting, target shooting, or competition shooting. However, there are some major differences between shooting benches, and therefore, there are some important considerations that you must take prior to making your purchase. The following are some of the things that are important to consider when you are planning to buy a new shooting bench.

Barrel Rest: When buying a portable shooting bench, it is important to look at the construction of the barrel rest. In general, an adjustable barrel rest offers flexibility for shooting in a number of situations. In addition, a removal barrel rest will make your portable shooting bench easier to transport without the fear of breaking off the barrel rest.
Bench Weight: Another important thing to look at when you are buying a portable shooting bench is the overall weight of the bench. A lighter weight bench will be easier to carry, so if you plan on traveling with your bench and will be carrying the bench longer distances from your car out into the field or at a shooting range, you may want to buy a lightweight portable shooting bench.
Bench Top: The design and construction of the top or table of a shooting bench is also important. You may want to buy a portable shooting bench that has a large recessed top or side tray that will allow you to store ammunition and other types of gear.
Seat Design: As you may be sitting on your shooting bench for long periods of time, you may want to buy a shooting bench that offers a comfortable seat design. However, it is important to realize that a more comfortable seat may add additional weight, so you will need to find a balance that fits your individual needs.
Portability: In general, most portable shooting benches are relatively easy and quick to fold up often coming complete with their own travel duffle bag. If you are planning on carrying your shooting bench with you, you will want to buy a shooting bench that is easy to carry.
Stability: Depending on the location in which you plan to use your portable shooting bench most often, it may be important for you to look at the overall stability of the shooting bench that you are going to buy. Stability can depend on the number and type of legs and feet on a bench as well as general construction and design. If you plan to use your shooting bench when hunting in the field on rugged terrain, you should find a shooting bench like the Caldwell Stable Table, with a sturdy tri-pod style design.
