concrete shooting bench height?
Not sure if this is the right place for this question.... Looking to build a concrete shooting bench. Not so much concerned about how to actually build it, but would like some advice, or opinions, on height of "table" and "bench/seat?

Make table only from concrete.
Make benches from wood, or use chairs / stools. Warmer on the butt, and adjustable with a saw.American by BIRTH, Infidel by CHOICE

Re: concrete shooting bench height?
Primarily you using it? Find a comfortable chair, measure it. There's your bench height. Now, while sitting in that chair, determine a comfortable height for your "table top". Comfortable for you is the key. Most of us probably aren't your height/weight, so comfortable for us doesn't really matter.
Personally, at most I'd make a frame of concrete. Make the actual tabletop and bench from wood. Warmer to sit on, and less likely to scratch up guns and other equipment placed on the table....

Re: concrete shooting bench height?
To me the most important dimension is the relationship between the seat height and the table height. I need the bench to fall somewhere mid-torso in order to settle in behind a scoped rifle and be comfortable. That height also allows me to shoot a revolver off the bench from a rest without contorting my body in such a way that I cannot get a stable position.
