I know, I know...it's called Texas Bowhunter and chances are that I personally won't be pulling the rifle out anytime soon. But, I'm always looking to create something that's useful yet inexpensive.
I've been working on some sketches of my next little project (God knows I need more projects). These are just schematics so I really haven't started anything other than designing. Now, pallets are readily available and come in various sizes. I searched thru homemade shooting benches and came across one that I would like to somewhat mimic.
Now, I don't want to spend $50-$100 in materials. I don't even want to spend $20. So why not try using pallets?
So I started sketching. I came to the conclusion that I could make a shooting bench out of just (4) 48"x48" pallets. This is the design I created that I think just might work.
Again, this is just schematic but I like the versatility of using free pallets. It's cheap, sturdy, and effective. Little assembly time and your out the door. You can do preventative maintenance to it by painting or staining or just leave it alone. It may last a season or two but that's what's nice about it costing next to nothing. Just thought I would share. When I decide to actually build it, I'll create a cut sheet for those that want it.
