    Default DIY Target Stands

    We quite enjoy our local outdoor ranges .i.e Rooikraal my favorite , Knights not too bad either still want to visit SWAT shooting range, however... as a new shooter one thing was clear, if you need a proper place to hang your targets your better off bringing your own kit, took us us about two or three trips to the range to figure out what we needed and we're still learning, so I made 6 of these collapsible target stands, estimate cost +/-R600 might be cheaper, and a Saturday afternoon, some basic cutting and welding skills a splash of primer and paint and boom target stands.

    I like the design that takes up little space for storage. Well done.

    Thank you all, I considered pvc, would be allot less effort to make but I had steel laying around so that option won.

    How wind sensitive is the target?

    Those feet look like they can be driven into the ground a bit. A spike below each upright that can be driven straight into the ground might also stabilise it a bit more in the wind

    We were fortunate enough to go out when its not so windy so I have no idea how they will react but they seem stable enough to cope
