Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a portable collapsible shooting bench. The bench of this invention collapses into a suitcase-like box for storage or transportation. The bench is comprised of a seat member; a connecting member for connecting seat to bench; a bench member; and a gun support. As set up the seat unit may be adjusted for height and for a right or left hand shooter via the connecting member. The seat member is secured to the bench member so that when the shooter sits on the seat, his weight is employed in steadying the unit. The gun support is secured to the bench member and is adjustable for height and angular displacement. Leveling means are also provided.
