    Default Let's see your target setups.

    So this last trip of shooting I forget to bring tools to assemble my homemade target stand to hang up some steel gongs. Needless to say, without the right tools my stand fell after a few hits. Which got me thinking about something a little quicker to assemble and with minimal tools in case I do forget to bring tools again. I'd like get some ideas for DIY target stands, but I like seeing what everyone else comes up with. So without further ado, let's see what you guys bring for targets!

    I recycle yard signs... There seems to be a never ending supply, especially in Aurora...

    +1, except when your buddies think it's cute to shoot your stands. Bastards!

    I made these with the help of my Dad a couple of weeks ago.

    They are 5' tall with a target area opening of 2'x3' and the removable base is 2'x2'. Each stand uses 3.5 pieces of 2"x4" (8' length).

    That's awesome! I've shot a few when they are available and they are light and easy to stick in the ground.

    I thought of this alternative to clay disc. Why not pistons painted yellow? You get several to many shots depends how you dig them in before they roll out and you have to reset them.

I do need to make some stands for the plates and a few more things but I have enough to make a 20 shot or so course.
