Sorry it took me so long to reply, I was...Um...Distracted by your avatar LOL

I'm designing/building a transparent floored shooting platform myself. I'm using a 4x8 foot sheet of 1/4" clear plexi, supported uniformly around the perimeter by an angle iron frame. In my center support shadow casting tests with lighting from below at a close proximity, 1/16" cold roll round stock (tension welded to the perimeter) doesn't cast appreciably, neither does the main element from a dead bedspring. Implementing either of the above for relatively quick setup and breakdown, however, is proving to be something of a challenge (though I'm leaning toward the cold roll route, barring tests with separate vertical supports).

When I have it completed and acceptably functional, I'll post the print for it (and results).

Cheers!
