    Default DIY Portable Target Stand

    I wanted to show this off. I haven't got a chance to try it out, yet. We went to an unmanned range in a state park the other day, and the pistol range was 25 yards with a stationary target. Fortunately, we were the only ones there, so we moved our firing lineup to 7 yards. I decided that in the future, it would be far better to have our own target stand so that we could stay behind the designated firing line. After looking on-line, I wasn't impressed with the portability of the cheap ones, nor with the price of the more portable ones. Here's what I cobbled together for $10 Thursday afternoon.




    I made it out of a camp chair that had seen better days. I designed it to hold a standard cardboard target. The uprights are 4' fiberglass driveway markers, with magnets to hold binder clips attached to the cardboard. I left the seat in the chair so a sandbag could be used to weight it down and the feet have holes to stake it down.


    Let me know what you think. Step-by-step and materials list are in post #15.

    I made one similar to this years ago and had to carry a sandbag to keep it up in the wind.

    It eventually got clipped by 223 rounds and I never built another.

    My current stands are all rifle-proof.

    I like the concept. Folds up nice, doesn't take a lot of room. I might have to check out my lawn chair bone yard and see what I have for candidates.

    I had one of these but the concept just wasn't sound. Took up too much space and I had to feed it weather I used it or not.
