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.

His welding is great, i have an example of a rack he made sitting in my garage - this thing wont fall apart.

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.

I'm in on a groop build

those are a lot more resilient than the ones that I made, nice work. How much do the targets run you and how long do they last?

EDIT: This feels like a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyways...

When shooting steel, do you need to worry about ricochets or does the steel and lead absorb the impact and drop them down?

I hope you aren't shooting steel core!! The bullet fragments upon impact. The mounting holes are such the target is at a slight angle. The splash mostly impacts the grounds and some what of a radial pattern.

so don't worry? Thanks!
