Maybe. What would that be made out of? It's a 4' x 8' table so it would be difficult to cover all of it as I have to haul it with my pickup to the bench each time.Can you make a cover to put on top and attach it with a few clamps?
I don't know why, but I always looked for a smooth mat. I have seen the textured ones that are more "sticky"
Several stores sell that rubber mesh stuff that they put on shelves in campers to keep the dishes quiet.
Thank you, I'll look into it.The Home Depot sells a drawer liner for their tool chests. it's $10, sticky. I use pieces in my front rest when a fore end wobbles. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1...-Solid-Drawer-Liner-Black-DTC130001/205191130
I'm kinda leaning that way if the skateboard thingy doesn't workFor a table cover, how about a piece of 3/4” plywood big enough to hold your set-up. Use large C-clamps to hold plywood to top of table. Add whatever restraining features you want to the plywood. You could even use a 2x2” wood slat behind your rear bag to keep it from moving. If you’re not looking for a competition solution then build a c-shaped box for the rear rest/bag.
I definitely have plenty of those I'm not using anymoreI have used a wool saddle blanket for years. The wool blanket has enough give to hold the rear bag and the blanket is long enough to keep the whole thing from moving. The blanket is pretty thick, so that might help.
Thank you, that sounds like a more permanent solutionGet a piece of 3/4" plywood, the size that will comfortably accommodate your front and rear rests, do your homework before cutting or having the plywood cut. Sand the sides well and round over the edges. Take it to a shop that sprays bedliners and have them give it 2 or 3 coats, sides included. Drill four 5/16 " holes in the picnic table and mount 1/4" T-nuts on the underside of the table. Using 4 1/4" x 20 TPI screws, the new top can be put on and taken off in minutes. The bedliner coating will be bullet proof and provide a slip resistant surface for your rests, just don't forget the elbow rests so you don't scar up your arms.
