Shooting off a deck...how do you?

[Mustardbisuit]

Im curious how you guys shoot off your deck. I was going to build a (normal) bench on the deck and then had this idea for a removable/ portable bench. Im sure I'm not the first to think of this, but I've not seen one quite like this before. It works great and I can put it in the house in about 20 seconds...So this got me to thinking...What solutions have other guys come up with. Not just portable, anything you use..

Thanks,

Yours is a pretty cool solution!

Last summer I resurfaced and rerailed my deck. I built this bench out of scrap materials. I modified a section so I could remove 2-3 balusters so I could shoot through without worrying about damage. 

Since then I've constructed a 5-rifle vertical gun stand next to the bench. I have a 100 yard shot to the woods and a huge forested gulley.

Thats pretty slick! I considered removing a couple of balusters but never thought about making them removable. I jealous of the 100 yard range. I can get out to 70 but thats it.

Off sand bags off the deck.Have 2 tennis balls hanging from wires 55 yards out.You hit the balls,they move,you miss they don't.Most 22 ca. pellets from the Gamo Whisper penetrate and stay inside

Im going to steal the tennis ball idea. I have a tree @ 50 yards that will work perfectly for that. Thanks for the tip!

Caldwell as listed above but please note they don't like to be left outside. I don't want to lug it in and out each time so I'll just replace everything with stainless and use a grill cover or something similar.

Use the Caldwell also, but they will rust in a minute. Heavy to lug back and forth also. I like the idea of a grill cover (or smoker cover, maybe?). Thanks for the tip.

I shoot off my back porch so much that I made the bench into the deck rail. Of course I can easily remove it with a couple of deck screws if need be? My porch rail is 45.5 inches tall so my bench is a standing bench. I prefer standing over sitting. Got targets set from 28 yds to 100 yds.

I like to shoot at night also. Just illuminate 100 yd targets with led flashlight.
