Finding the Right Shooting Benches for Practice on eBay

Whether you're a hunter, a target shooter, or someone who just wants to improve aim, shooting benches are a great way to do so. And when you search for a portable shooting bench on eBay, chances are that you'll see plenty of possible choices for you. Here are some guidelines to help you choose the right shooting bench for sale.

Full shooting tables available on eBay: what to look for

When you start looking for a shooting bench, you likely see two main types on eBay. The first is a full shooting bench with a built-in gun rest. Most of these are portable, and each one is a little different. Here are some of the parameters to think about as you shop:

  • Do you need a swiveling seat? Many shooting benches do not have a swiveling seat. However, depending on the type of shooting you do, you may prefer a seat that swivels.
  • Do you need a gun rest? Many of these come with a gun rests. A few have two cradles for more gun support.
  • How much tabletop space do you need? You may prefer a shooting table with more or less space. Before you buy, be sure you understand how much space you have on the table.
  • What about bullet storage? Some of these models have built-in storage for bullets. While it may not be necessary, it could be a feature that you prefer to have included.
Gun rests: Convert any bench to a shooting bench

Maybe you already have a shooting bench in mind but would prefer to add a gun rest of your choosing. A search for benches on eBay will also bring up gun rests. Many of these are bags that can be weighted down with sand, and they come with handles for easy portability. A gun rest can be brought to a range to help customize shooting tables whether they are tables at the range or at your home.

How portable does your portable shooting bench need to be?

A portable shooting bench allows you to bring your ideal bench with you to the range. However, before you make a purchase on eBay, it may be wise to look into just how portable a given bench is. Here are a few ways to do so:

  • See how heavy the bench is. Part of being portable is being carryable, so it's wise to check the weight of a shooting bench before you buy.
  • See how small you can make it when folded. Depending on the size of your vehicle, it may be important that a folding shooting bench folds down to a certain size.
