I don't know if this is the proper forum for this but I thought I'd share this DIY project.

The front and rear bases for the legs can be removed just by undoing wing nuts, and then flipped over, so either right or lefthand shooters can use the table.

As you can see, I drilled a hole in each leg so they can be tightened/loosened with just a screwdriver or a bolt.

I'm going to get some of those rubber table leg caps for each leg.

The table is 23"W x 47"L, the cutout is 12"W x 20"L, so the rear wing is 11"W. The table top is 2 pieces of 2"x4" good-one-side plywood glued together. Legs are 1" sched 40 threaded pipe and I got the square pipe flanges on Amazon.

I'm thinking of a table like that now!
 
^ Another option to make it ambidextrous is to make the table top 4'x4' and cut out shooting positions at each rear corner, for right and left.

That design is a bit heavier, but is super stable.

We did this with just a taper rather than a cut out. It started out with 3 legs as above but my son changed it to a center support with tripod legs at the bottom. They have adjustable heights to level the table. The seat is attached to an arm that fits over the centre support post and can rotate around the table .
