Hey all, I recently tidied up my work bench to make it a dedicated pcp/gun work station and would like some ideas on a flap open window opening on the screen. Over the years here on AGN I’ve seen some genius designs but never saved any pics. If you don’t mind sharing some designs I’d like to benefit from you all’s ideas that have made trick flap or slide open window openings preferably on the screen side
Thanks a bunch, as always

Augie!

Since you're a metal worker kinda guy, why not just make a mini-door out of the same framing as the screen frame?

Pick the best area on the screen side that aligns with the white muntin's and square one up.

The muntin's on your window appear to be about a foot square. Build that with a screen frame so that the screen frame aligns one of the muntin squares, then tuck the screen into the frame (after cutting the screen out to match) using the screen round rubber.

Then build another that fits into that frame so you can fasten a smaller section of screen onto that as well.

Put a cuppla small hinges on it and you now have a still screened window for insect protection, but with a small door to shoot through when ya wanna.

Sounds good on paper, maybe it'll work.

I shoot from different windows based upon the targets position. So just move the screens down so they are not in the way and open the window when I am lining up a shot. Squirrels sometimes react a little to the window opening but normally they do not run off. Standing is more difficult than sitting but I use the window as a rest which helps. Paper targets get shot from a built in bench on the side porch.
