Serious gun enthusiasts will often make use of a shooting bench to steady their aim for one reason or another.

A variety of portable options exist, though few are as convenient for outdoorsy types to pack up and bring along on a road trip than the Shooterest.

This hitch-mounted shooting bench is designed to attach directly to the trailer hitch on your car or truck. You can either fold it down from its hitched position or detach it and set it up independently. There is enough space in either configuration for up to two shooters.

The Shooterest is available in a $389 standard version and a $489 deluxe version, the latter of which is constructed out of 3/4-inch birch plywood (as opposed to 7/16-inch OSB plywood).
