Seminolewind, most times when I'm shooting Rock Chucks I'm on the 4 wheeler because some of these Lava reefs are several miles long. What I do is take a piece of counter top cut out from a kitchen sink that I buy from a place that sells them & I place that on that back of my 4 wheeler, that's my shooting table. You can bolt them down or tie them down with bungy cords, etc. Then I take my sand bags & throw them on top and use a small flat bag on the bottom for the pistol grip & I sit on a milk crate or a small stool & I'm set up to shoot Chucks at long range. I gave one of these counter tops to Bob Baker & witnessed him take a Chuck at over 600 yds with one of his FA single shot pistols, he can shoot!
I can hide behind the 4 wheeler & I take a little cooler for drinks because many times I'm gone most of the day & cover several miles. When I turn this little piece of laminated wood, which is made by a good friend of mine it makes for a wide forend, much like a bench rest stock & it's super steady! I usually have 2-3 sandbags in front & one in the back, depending on the angle of the shot. You want the sandbags about 3/4 full or they end up round, you want them to lay flat, that way you can put you gun up there with your little "rest" turned sideways & be super steady.
I always wear an elbow pad on my right elbow, that way the recoil doesn't drive your elbow into the metal rack or something hard on the back of the machine. Trust me, after a few shots it gets your attention. With this kind of set up you can be rock solid & comfortable for hours. When the shooting slows down I just hop on & move a mile or so & reset. I've been using one of these for 30 years.
