My Target stands

[barnes12]

Got the full size ispc target from Bobcat steel not long ago. Made the target stand out of left over pipe we use for making roll cages for race cars and hotrods. Built 2 of them and they work great. One set up at 600 yards and will be setting the second at 1000 pretty soon.

Very nice. I have a couple built similar out of 1.5" square tubing. Yours is better looking

Re: My Target stands

That's awesome!
I really love my Bobcat fullsize ipsc target as well.
Makes my stand made out of T-posts, bolts, and clamps look like crap.
Man I need to learn how to weld!

Here's the one I built, also out of 1.5" square tubing. I have since switched the tow straps for chains.

Re: My Target stands

Here is one that I built awhile back. It knocks down into pieces for transpotation.

I use it at 600 yards.

Being used....

Re: My Target stands

I found a cheap alternative to finding target stands. We see them at every stop sign. The political election signs that everybody uses to display their name before an election. They are large enough to put 3 8in Shoot-n-see targets out to 600yd or so. They have a light metal stand that can be pushed into the ground easily and best of all they are free. Just pick the people you don't like and shoot'em up. Lol. The only downside is they are pass thru design so you make sure that you have enough room for a berm of some sort.

Just my cheap azz two cents!

Re: My Target stands

Very nice target stand and set up. Good job. Wish I knew how to weld.

I like having it break down like that for transportation, even on the smaller one target versions. Don't you find the instrumental music in the background while shooting distracting though?

I think stealing election signs signs is a federal offense... So I'd suggest not doing it.

After the election it's just trash removal. It's a crime to leave them up for a certain time after the election as it counts as litering, at least it is in PA. I do the same thing, I just get every one I come across and it takes me about a year or so to shoot through them, just in time for the next crop of trash and the signs to advertise it.

Angle iron frames and GI-type targets.

Re: My Target stands

Those are all real nice. I think I may have to build some now.

Re: My Target stands

We made ours out of some scrap rebar. Just heated up with the torch and put a couple bends in it. I'll snap a few pics next time I'm at my pops place.

Re: My Target stands

They dont need to be pretty boys you are going to shoot the shit out of them.

Re: My Target stands

Thanks for the good words, it does help having scrap tubing and other metal laying around. The pipe bender we use for the roll cages and what not sure makes it easier to do these kind of things.

And these last for a long time, I have put somewhere around 300 rounds through my local mayor and it is holding up great. The holes kind of close up, so you can use them over and over and over.

Re: My Target stands

hey...nothing like those election signs (after the election)pick up the losers...they dont need them any more anyway

 

[dajudge43]

Re: My Target stands

if you can find some of the real estate for sale signs that have metal frames...they work great...most are made of 1/2 in angle and last a long time

Did you build those frames? or they were ordered?

Re: My Target stands

I just realized I have a great frame for targets, I just need to add a few loops for chains to it, great thread!

Re: My Target stands

Good simple idea
