Wow, you’re looking for a shooting bench that magically adjusts to fit both right and left handed shooters? Yes and no. Sorry, we don’t offer a universal shooting bench that accommodates everyone or defies the laws of ergonomics and physics. Instead, we have three different benches designed for specific needs: the Original DOA (OG), the Centerfire, and the Extended Long Range (ELR). We actually care about accuracy, so we designed them to help you shoot from your natural body position – which, spoiler alert, is usually determined by your dominant hand. That means our OG and ELR benches are specifically made for right or left handed shooters. But, we get it, some people have a left handed spouse or partner who shoots right handed (because that’s a thing), or they like to shoot from weird angles (center of Chest). For those folks, we created the Centerfire Shooting Bench, which is about as universal as we could make it.

Wow, what a unique and not-at-all-common request. Yes, genius, you can buy a shooting bench with interchangeable tops to accommodate both your left and right handed needs. The bench comes in two parts, because apparently that’s not obvious. You get a top and a tripod, and together they magically form a full shooting bench. If you and your spouse or weird shooting buddy are too cheap to buy two separate benches, you can just buy an extra top. We shocked that hunting guides and shooting schools haven’t already cornered the market on this super-specialized feature when they call us.

Oh, wow, you have a guy. That’s amazing. A guy who can somehow magically build a superior bench top using wood from your 5th generation grandfather’s super special tree farm from the 1800s, and who just happens to know more about shooting than all the military sharpshooters combined. We’re sure he’s a totally legit and not-at-all-made-up expert.

Anyway, to answer your question: no, you can’t buy just the DOA Tripod without the rest of the system. Our lawyers have informed us that if we let you or your “guy” modify or add to our product without our consent, we’d be liable for any accidents that happen as a result. Because, you know, we actually care about people’s safety and don’t want to get sued by idiots who think they know better. (Just like that one guy who tried to sue us for shooting his prized hunting dog. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t our fault.) So, yeah, you’re stuck buying the whole package from us. Sorry not sorry.

Wow, I’m so sorry, I must have missed the part where we listed all our shooting bench models. Let us try again… For those who need a refresher (or a reading accommodation), yes, we have multiple models: the Original DOA (OG), the Centerfire, and the Extended Long Range (ELR). Because, apparently, we need to repeat ourselves.

Oh, you want to know why the seat is attached to the tripod? Well, it’s not because we thought it was a brilliant idea to save you from the sheer trauma or immense hardship of having to carry a separate chair to the shooting range. Nope, it’s because we’ve all seen the classic “shooting setup” – a guy perched on an upside-down bucket or lawn chair, awkwardly leaning over a too-small card table, and praying his accuracy isn’t affected by his questionable life choices. So, we decided to spare you the embarrassment and just attach the seat to the bench. You know, because who forgets their trusty bucket at home, right?

Oh no, what if our seat doesn’t fit you?  We’re shocked, SHOCKED, that someone might not fit perfectly into our carefully designed seat. Let us break it down for you: our seat has a whopping 25″ of travel on the tripod post, because we know people come in different heights. And if that’s not enough, the seat itself can slide in and out 19″ from the tripod, because apparently some people have longer or shorter torsos than others. We’re not sure what kind of shooting bench you’re used to, but ours has more adjustability than any other bench on the market, so it’s basically impossible for it not to fit you. But hey, if you’re still having trouble, maybe try using a different chair or bucket.

Oh, wow, I’m so glad you asked. It’s not like it’s a secret or anything. Our totally-not-made-in-China shooting benches are proudly built right here in the good ol’ US of A. Specifically, all the laser cutting, woodworking, powder coating, and welding magic happens in Southern Utah, because, you know, that’s not a random place at all.

Oh, you want to know exactly when you’ll get your DOA Bench? Well, let us check our crystal ball. Seriously though, we try to keep them in stock, but sometimes material shortages happen (thanks, COVID!). If we’re stocked up, we’ll ship it out via UPS Ground from Utah, and it’ll probably take 3-5 business days to arrive if you’re in the lower 48 states. But if you’re in Alaska, Hawaii, or basically anywhere else on the planet, good luck – shipping times are a mystery, even to us. And if you’re in the blackhole of shipping (Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky) well… let’s just say your packages will probably arrive when the sun rises in the east… or not.

Oh joy, you want us to ship a DOA Shooting bench to the moon or maybe one of those tiny islands in the Pacific? Yes, we can magically make it happen, but don’t expect us to have any idea how much it’ll cost or when it’ll arrive. Call us, because apparently, our crystal ball is in the shop. We’ll be happy to give you a shipping quote that will likely make your wallet cry, because that’s what we live for – quoting shipping costs for obscure locations.

Oh, you want to slap a simple custom logo or image on top of your DOA Shooting bench? How original. Because, you know, a company logo or sports team emblem isn’t already plastered on every other product out there. Sure, we can do that for you, but don’t expect it to be free. We’re not in the business of charity, after all. For a ‘modest’ upcharge, we can add your company logo, family crest, or that sports team logo you secretly still root for (no judgments here… or there, for a price). Just keep in mind that ‘simple’ is the operative word here – don’t even think about trying to sneak in a detailed image, or it’ll end up looking like a kindergartener’s art project. And as for how long it’ll take? Well, that’ll depend on how complicated you’re willing to make things. And as for the price, well, that’s a mystery that can only be solved by calling us, because clearly, we’re not going to give you a straight answer here. So, go ahead and call us, and we’ll tell you just how much it’ll cost to make your bench ‘unique’.

Oh, you want a shooting bench that’s not just functional, but also a fashion statement? Well, isn’t that just peachy. Yes, we can definitely accommodate your unique request for a custom powder coated tripod in a color that matches your favorite sports team’s jersey or your favorite shade of plaid. Because, you know, that’s exactly what you need when you’re out at the range trying to hit your target – a bench that’s a work of art. There will be an extra charge for this privilege, and you might have to wait a little longer for it to be made, but hey, who needs to shoot targets quickly when you can have a bench that’s Instagram-worthy? Don’t believe us??? Check ours out for full reference!

Wow, we’re so glad you’re still interested in our shooting bench, despite having already read our answer to this question. To put it simply: yes, our bench will fit you, your wife, kids, and probably even your aunt Mildred. Our seat is ridiculously adjustable, with 25″ of travel on the tripod post and 19″ of slide room on the seat arm itself. We’re talking ‘fits-every-body-type-known-to-mankind’ levels of adjustability here. So, go ahead and bring the whole family – we’ll wait.

Oh, you want to know why our shooting bench costs more than those flimsy, cheap things you see elsewhere? Well, let us tell you, it’s because we didn’t design ours around a price point that would make a budget committee proud. Nope, we built it for ourselves, because we’re selfish long-range shooters who wanted a precision bench that wouldn’t fail us. And guess what? It didn’t! Then, people started asking us to build one for them, and we were like, ‘Sure, but it’s going to cost you.’ We didn’t care about being the cheapest option; we cared about building the best bench that wouldn’t leave you crying to your wife about how it broke… again. We’ve heard thousands of horror stories about those ‘other’ benches failing, but ours? Zero failures. Zilch. So, if you want the best, be prepared to pay for it. If you want the cheapest thing that will probably break, go ahead and buy one of those. Either way you will be calling us.

Oh, you’re looking for a bench to shoot some varmints, prairie dogs, and coyotes? How original. Well, let me just check if our bench can handle such a uniquely challenging and exotic task. Spoiler alert: it can. In fact, it’s basically the best thing since sliced bread for people who enjoy shooting, including the super rare and exotic ‘shooting things’ sport. We’ve got thousands of hunters who can vouch for its awesomeness, and by ‘awesome,’ because clearly, they had nothing better to do than to become bench testers. And don’t even get us started on how we were the first to sell these things commercially in the USA (yep, we’re old), and the company that other people have apparently copied (but not successfully, because, you know, we’re just that good), you can rest assured that our bench will meet your needs. I mean, who needs a bench that can only handle, say, prairie dogs, when you can have one that can handle your varmint-filled dreams and your ego?

Oh, you want to know about other accessories like rests or bags? Well, let us just consult our exhaustive list of every single gadget and gizmo on the market. Just kidding, we’re not made of money and can’t try every new thing that comes out. But seriously, we do meet some decent companies at events and if their stuff actually works and isn’t overly complicated, we might just start carrying it. And by ‘might just start carrying it’, I mean if it’s not complete garbage. We’re not afraid to speak our minds, so if some company tries to sell us a bunch of hype, we’ll be happy to share our horror stories with you. So, keep an eye on our website for new additions to our accessory lineup, but don’t hold your breath – we’re not going to waste our time or yours on junk.

Wow, you think a casual mention of your 500 followers on social media is going to impress us? Please, we’ve got relationships with major players in the industry and sponsor top shooting events. If you want to discuss a dealer discount, let’s talk about a substantial purchase that benefits both parties, like buying multiple DOA Shooting benches for your retail or web store. Don’t waste our time with small-time inquiries or fake promises of sales; show us you’re serious about doing business.

Wow, we’re just so surprised that not every single one of our customers has the exact same genius idea for a built-in or on accessory for the DOA shooting table top. I mean, it’s not like we have a million different opinions coming at us from all directions or anything. And yeah, we’ve gotten a ton of requests for cup holders, because what’s more important than having your beer next to your gun, right? I mean, who needs safety or practicality when you can have a cold one nearby? But seriously, we get it, you’re a genius and you have a better idea than we do, so go ahead and drill a hole in your table top or attach a whatever to the side. We can’t wait to see the creative ways you find to make our product uniquely yours. Let nothing but fear or common sense stop you!

Wow, what a unique and not-at-all-common request. A bench that’s just a little bit taller, shorter, or longer than usual. We don’t get those calls every day. But sure, we’d be happy to custom-make a bench for you. Just give us a call and we’ll jump right on it. I mean, it’s not like we have better things to do than cater to your every whim. We’ve done it for Hollywood, you know. They have weird requests too, but at least they’re paying top dollar. And of course, we’ve made benches for people with specific needs (wheel chairs), because who doesn’t love a good challenge? Just don’t expect us to do it for free or overnight. Price and delivery time are, shockingly, a factor.
