I've been wanting to get my own target stands for a while now. And after searching on the net, everything I've found is a little pricey for what you get. The stands are cheaply made, too flimsy, and very light. I wanted to get my money's worth. Soemthing that is going to last for a long time.
So, I built my own.
I found these targets, and after using them in the training classes in the past, I knew that these were the ones to get.

Measuring the target, I had an idea for the dimensions I wanted to make MY stand.
The stand is 20 pounds. It's 20 3/4'' x 18'' x 6'' with 5ft furring strips.
The material is 1 1/2'' square tubing with 3/16'' wall.
2'' Rectangular tubing .065 wall.
7/16'' wire stakes.
5/16-18 Flange Head Screws
I didn't just cut the material with the band saw, and weld it all together. I actually machined everything to size.
This thing is solid.
So far, I've only made 2 of these.
I can't wait to try them out at the range!

I've also thought about making some out of pvc(aka lovemywoods design), just haven't done it yet do to not shooting much. We'll have to meet up at MCFG so I can check them out.
) they would be a little expensive. Especially compared to the cheaper prices of the other stands out there.
