At my range we had vey nice tables like the one pictured But (there is that word again ) the members voted to change then all to wooden benches that can be moved and unleveled and random distances to the targets so sad .This is a rest. As the name "rest" implies...the gun is rested upon the front and rear support. It is not clamped into it. The rest is a means of supporting the rifle while allowing mechanical elevation and wibdage adjustment. You do not clamp a rifle into a rest.

Isn't that pretty hard to control and have a safe and consistent firing line? Our range has one firing line and portable target stands to change your shooting distances.At my range we had vey nice tables like the one pictured But (there is that word again ) the members voted to change then all to wooden benches that can be moved and unleveled and random distances to the targets so sad .
