You know what works real good on that? Brake cleaner, just spray and boop. It will fall to the ground, dead, try it, it works. ;)
We need to keep going and have fun doing it.

Took a piece of 1" x 6" pine supported underneath by a block of maple.  Put a piece of 1/2" thick rubber matting on the pine and covered it with a carpet sample held by an old cymbal stand.  Easy to make and very portable, and adjustable.  RC



I just noticed something: Aren't those drum kit thrones you be sittin' on?

Depending on what I'm shooting I use a Hoppe's Expert's Benchrest 3000 (orange colored) or a Hyskore #30034 Swivel Pistol Rest plus a couple of sand filled bags.

Yes, I shoot out the door of my recording studio.  Comfortable seats to shoot from. RC

Awesome RWS!  :-*


Wish I had a 10M indoor range too!
I have been thinking about cutting a 2' square opening in the side of the workshop and extending a square tube out to 10M with a retractable target pulley system, but first I need to just get the shop up and running!! Future plans added to the growing pile of future plans  ;)

     I have a set of Shooters Ridge bags (Front and Rear) and a Caldwell Lead Sled. My current bench, due to be modified soon, is an old 55 gallon fish tank stand made from bolted and mitered 2X4's with two pieces of 5/8" ply screwed down on top. The bench is rock solid, and between two of the 6X6 posts that hold up my second story deck, just need to add another top with the narrow piece extending back to allow the rifle rest, and my arm to have a place to rest on. So far however the setup has worked out quite well, and since the bags and the lead sled were both gifts I can't complain. Also being able to shot ragged holes at 47 yards with the M-Rod, and Talon from it verifies that all sits nice and tight. Inside I do have a 5M range in my shop, and a 10M range in the house on the lower floor. I don't move the current bench, but do have some support for the bags on the indoor ranges. Nice setups guys, I'll need to get some pics for you.
