Title: BENCH REST OR SHOOTING REST FOR A DISABLED PISTOL SHOOTER
Post by: dsawi52695 on August 06, 2007, 12:28:07 PM

Hi Everyone:

     What I am looking is either a shooting bench or some kind of shooting rest that can be built or purchased to be used by a disabled wheelchair bound Pistol shooter.   If one needs to be built, does anyone have plans that we could use?  If not, do you know where we could plans to build one? 

     If someone already purchased the type of shooting bench/shooting rest that again to be used by a disabled wheelchair bound Pistol shooter.  If you have, could you tell me which one you bought and where you bought it from?

     Thank you for your time, consideration, and cooperation. I hope to hear from you soon,

     David

Thank you Tex, I will have to look into that.  In the meantime, maybe Michael will see this post and be kind enough to offer his input on the subject.
