Portable gun bench

Abstract

The present device is a folding gun bench that can be folded into a compact position that is readily movable from place to place and easily carried by the shooter. Once that the location that the shooter desires to utilize the bench, the bench is quickly and easily unfolded into the working position. The bench includes a latch mechanism that will prevent the bench from accidentally collapsing or folding once it is in the working position. The design of this bench also prevents the bench from tipping over while it is in use. The portability and the ability to fold the bench into a compact position allows this bench to be transported from place to place on a shooting range or to be easily transported by the shooter or hunter into the field to aid the sportsman in his shooting activities.
