Simple Portable Targets?

[rocktot]

Anyone have good target ideas that are simple, cheap, portable and good?

Yep. Now let me find the info on mine. stand by. Targets or Target stands? Here is both:

Ok, here is mine, made out of pvc tubing. Filled with sand for weight. Not too heavy to carry, small, portable.

I'm not sure about the good part you ask, but it's worked for me so far. You can make it as large, small, narrow, wide as you need.

As for targets, I've purchased large pads of targets in various shapes and types, just take a pad of them with you and peel one off, tape or staple it to the cardboard. I get the cardboard free from the computer boxes at work. Plenty available.

Nice target stands does the steely ware out the PVC uprights?

I'll post you some pics of mine tomorrow-

bent and welded angle iron stakes,
1x4 lumber cut to 5ft.
silohuette of choice nailed to wood, lasts a few months as long as you stay away from the shotgun.

Steel is plasma cut holes in plate that hang from steel fence stakes, everything fits nicely in the back of my lexus and simple to carry out to 1000 yards.

You can also use pine 2x2s as the vertical part of the stand in the PVC base. Cheap and easily replaceable as they will get nicked up. You'll have to trim the corners on one end to fit inside the PVC. The pine also makes it so you can staple up heavy cardboard IPSC targets. Very nice.

Ok, now Im thinking, where can I get a 12x12" steel, around Boulder, or Ft Collins, capable of handling 40 cal (thickness)? What about lead splatting out all over, how can you contain it (reasonably)?
