    Default Idpa/Ipsc target stand

    Got the idea of YouTube
    Just some 50mm PVC tubing and some fittings.
    Some trimming necessary on the corners of the the wood to fit in the tube

    Thanx for sharing JP. PVC is the D.I.Yourselver's friend. Did you fill the four horizontal pipes with sand ? I did this with my PVC-Bowstand to make it more sturdy.

    Nice idea. Was thinking of welding some, but this seems like fun.

    Not to rain on the parade, but pulled shots happen. Having to work on the brandering every time to be able to fit will get old very soon. Not to mention a shot into the PVC. Rather weld some up.

    The easiest still is to make them from wood.

    Roodepoort uses steel stands and brandering uprights, then staple the targets to the brandering. The training academies and SAPS used to shoot the shite out of the steel stands, the brandering is easily replaceable. Well done on the PVC stand, if it's only you shooting at it I don't see the likelihood of a hit so low. As they say in afrikaans 'moontlik, maar nie maklik nie.

    instead of filling the pvc with sand rather pour concrete into it. that way you get the benefit of the weight on the bottom as well as it being more likely to survive a bullet hit. if you really want to be fancy run a length of rebar through each pvc pipe before assembly and then pour concrete into it

    You can get the 'old' IPSC humanoid targets from shooting stuff IIRC... (they are not used in IPSC competition any more though).
