    Default Target Stands

    Target stands
    These stands are made out of 5/8" rebar. The rebar cost about $15 for each stand. 4 flat 5/8" washers, 2 cotter pins, and 2 extra wide 3/4" washers. They come apart in just a few seconds. The legs are 7 feet long each, then bent in half. so they stand around 3 feet high, 3 feet wide. When disassembled, they take up about 2 feet by 3 feet by just over an inch. They could be made smaller if your targets are smaller, or if you just wanted them smaller. I made them a little larger, so to minimize stray hits on the stands.
    I will make these for people. I had originally meant them as a group target stand build at my house. But, if someone wanted them, I would be willing to make the 5/8" stands for $35. If you want some please pm me. you would have to provide straps. I will provide the 2 uprights and the crossbar and associated hardware.

    Looks great. I had one similar to this, but my legs were stuck into a piece of pipe so everything was smaller to pack. Yours looks better though, I didn't think to get longer bar and bend it around like that.

    I just made one out of PVC to hold upright targets, and will see if I can make it hold the AR500 target I purchased from you.

    i didnt weld the bench press, Jim. A pipefitter friend did. My welding is ugly, but holds strong.

    refer to the first post. i updated it, if you want to purchase stands.

    Thank you.

    And now I know what Big Wall means.




    the ratchet straps worked great. only one piece got hit, and it didnt do much and still holds strong with the other fibers in the strap.
