Hey guys just wanted to share this "shot marker" stand from Detour dynamics it looks like a great piece of kit. I'm sure you long range ninjas could appreciate it.

I've used things like the oakwood controls H bar but not these. What is the recommended and maximum spacing for the corners?We used Shot Marker targets at Gunsite XLR to calibrate rifles with FFS and was so impressed I ordered one as soon as soon as I returned home. Far superior to the previous method of spending a full day of sending rounds down range at KD targets. We were able to calibrate two rifle in one morning and spent the rest of the class banging UKD targets out to 2200. The target frame I built will allow 3 MOA at a 1000.
Not sure if there is a recommended maximum spacing but critical to have a square frame and the sensors equidistant.I've used things like the oakwood controls H bar but not these. What is the recommended and maximum spacing for the corners?

Duh... and yet that logic doesn't stop half as many people as it should and we both know it. Saw a shooter print a 5" group at 1500 yards on the frame. Ask Walt, he was being rather colorful the entire time lol... At a match a month ago I had a shooter manage to get three hits on target legs in 4 shots taken. left leg, right leg, target, right leg and managed to sever it... Our fault for not having heavy enough protection but that was some magically bad shooting. At Ringneck Ranch I had a shooter that on two sequential targets 100s of yards apart manage to whistle rounds passed the cameras repeatedly and they were 4 fucking mils to the left of the plates! Anything downrange will get shot.Well if you can't shoot sub 3 moa at a 1000 you probably being shooting at it in the first place.
The extrusion would make that brainless. They come cut with pretty tight tolerances but the way the brackets work, you can square them up even if they are radically different lengths.Not sure if there is a recommended maximum spacing but critical to have a square frame and the sensors equidistant.
True. This frame is for my use only to calibrate rifles and practice F Class. Not sure what size frame Cory was using at a 1000+ but no doubt pretty large. Good practice to verify windage and elevation on steel before sending rounds through Shot Marker.Duh... and yet that logic doesn't stop half as many people as it should and we both know it.

It is always recommended to use a trueing target safley adjacent from the target stand to make sure the shooter, rifle, and wind gods are on the same page.needs some AR500 at the corners to protect the sensors
that's great at 1k. 1500, 2000, 2500 not so muchIt is always recommended to use a trueing target safley adjacent from the target stand to make sure the shooter, rifle, and wind gods are on the same page.
"We're going to need a bigger boat." Hahaha yup definitely gets wild at those distances.that's great at 1k. 1500, 2000, 2500 not so much

Nice. I wish we had the land on the east coast to build a facility like this. Probably the only thing I miss about living and growing up out west. Open land.I just added a third frame to the stable. We will now have a 1500/2000 yard target. In fact, we can now set three targets in line at 200/400/600 and capture 4 velocities on a single shot, as well as relative shot locations. The new frame is just under 10'x10'. We are also adding downrange wireless wind sensors for the calibration ranges.

That looks really friggin sweet! Though I can't imagine the pain to get those T-posts in perfectly alignedHey guys just wanted to share this "shot marker" stand from Detour dynamics it looks like a great piece of kit. I'm sure you long range ninjas could appreciate it.
