New Bench's

Post by Knackers »

Top hot to work today so I got stuck in and finally built the bench's that I have been planning for a while. I can shoot out to 500 meters from this point, but I better master 300 first.
Made from scrap steel at the workshop and a door that we recovered from a B-double roll-over just down the Hwy a bit. Got another 10 doors in the shed, some hollow some solid. Used one of the solids for the bench.Image

Good stuff mate - and I don't think an unwelcome guest would make a second visit after seeing what you have pointing down the driveway!!

Stick a few numbered range markers along the road and they will really get the message!

shit knackers, why didnt you post that yesterday. I've gotta see Shane friday and was tossing up with seeing the client in Shep on the way back friday arvo or asking if your room was free and seeing them Sat morning.

As I'm thinking Monicas gotta be close decided not to ask and have arranged the appointment for Friday pm

Yesterday was a day of rest.

Thanks for the praise fellas, Trev up to you mate, she mowed the lawns yesterday (won't let me do it ) and she has 22 days to go. :roll:
All those that are camping here for the Leeton shoot can have a crack at 300 mtrs, if they get here while its still light on the Friday. BYO targets if you can. :wink:

I would love to see the expressions on the faces of the Jehovah's as they drive up the driveway while your exercising your guns. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had a visit once when i was cleaning the 223 on the kitchen table, you could see it over my shoulder through the door. They just said sorry wrong house and left, never came back either. 8)

Knackers, the Shep client now will be out of town Friday to go to a funeral and asked if i could see her on Saturday morning.

How do feel about trying out those benches side by side and spotlighting Friday night rather than relaxing with your wife and a quiet ale like normal people would do :wink:

Nice set-up mate.
Now all you need to do is make some holders on the fence posts to put your wind indicators on.
