Show us your BOB

When I was a

When I was a kid "BOB" meant something to do with the girly magazines we would pilfer from dumpsters. It was/is a college town.

Anyway, did anyone ever say what "BOB" actually means in this case?

Been wondering ever since this post first showed up. I guess it is simply a colloquialism from across the pond that doesn't translate here without explanation.
It is the name that the industry adopted for the jogging strollers
 
So in the FT world and at rifle ranges it’s common to see joggers baby strollers converted into range carts.
Let’s see what you’ve done with your BOB or range cart. Mines not finished and no the barrel won’t touch anything when I’m done - but I’ll go first:

It's on the roof. At my place BOB means Big Orange Ball. You never know where that thing will end up. 😁 😆

I’m remembering your setup - very nice Motorhead
I invested in a rugged gear gun cart because I could place all the direct weight at the very bottom of the cart. My experience with my BOB homemade cart was the weight was above centerline and thus tippy and susceptible to wind.
Pictures of the new range cart are forthcoming. Meanwhile:
Please note from these pictures that the guns can be orientated straight up or straight down. With the muzzle pointed straight up you have an advantage of placing the butt and thus the weight directly over the rear axel and very low on the center of gravity which makes the cart many times more stable and less tippy, also reducing sail area which is where the wind can get you.
By also adding your Airbottle to the bottom front of the cart you can further place more weight where it is most needed.
Although i created a sepparate thread on this item i thought it would be wise to bring this older thread back to life so people could chime in with more ideas.
