*TARGET STAND DIMENSIONS* (New Version 2.0) 2 Outside pieces (feet) 24” 2 Cross pieces 18” 4 Spacers Same width as upright 2 Uprights Whatever is leftover (48” or so)

Dude I just watched version 1 and was amazed and then I saw version 2??!?!?!? How much more can one guy be amazed!

Been looking a while for an easy portable target stand for the range. Great design, simple and effective.

Gardening shepherd hook You're welcome 🤠

April 2021, this is now a 1500 dollar build.

Add a piece of 2x6 or piece of plywood 1/2 or 3/4" across the front bottom - it will be your frag catcher. Hold in place with one bolt on each side - slip fit . Then take it off and you have a good "safe" frame to pick up and move and one flat piece with all the junk in it. A triangle stand will also work. Think those cheap 3 legged shelf picture frame holders. They make a good pattern to make a big one. 2 cuts at the top and some cheap chain to keep them together and you "should" be ready to go and have almost no fraging on the bottom because there is no bottom.

I kept the two side 2x4’s. Put an eye bolt through the 1.5” of each. Hung the steel plate from two short chains that clip into the eye bolts. Never hit the 2x4’s. Never hit the chains. The plate gongs nice! The steel plate can be removed when not used....or left in place as a backstop when the cardboard target is used.

Not gonna lie…. I wouldn’t expect these things to last forever… but the fact that your original one lasted a year is impressive by itself

Hey thanks just built a set appreciate the info now to try these bad boys out. I really like how you have two different options with the same base. As I tend to shoot a lot of bolt action rifles with smaller single post targets as well as wide silhouette targets for my pistols!!

Some great design ideas, thank you.

i used (2) 5 3/4 inch spacers and it worked great

i love engineering projects like this. thanks for sharing these videos and explaining all the details and reasoning behind them.

Don't miss. Ever. Bam

Awesome video! I will try it out this week.

I paid $15 for redwood because I liked the color..lol. I didn’t think about the damage from the ricochet. Next time around I’ll go the $7 route.

Thanks for the video. I just built two of these but I made some modifications. I cut the feet so they're 36" inches for a more solid and stable base. I also kept the posts the original way, however, I bought 1 1/12" X 24" flat bars that are 1/2" inch from Home Depot and fastened those to the front of the posts so they don't get chewed up. Works well.

Wrapping the high wear areas with duck tape helps with splinters

Followed this the other weekend, everything went great!

I need a smaller, more portable stand. Im going to try this with wing nuts or something similar.

Great video! Going to be making a couple of these. I appreciate this

dope. glad I saw this 2.0 before I build some- thanks!

You could probably use some old rubber tire strips to protect the 2x4's.

Update February 2024, this is now a $4500 build

Great stuff. I'll be making a couple of these today. Thanks!

Ill be making 2 of these today

Love it thanks alot. Already made 2 and used them. No issues.

On the plate upright I think I will ad some steal plates on the front part of the 2x4.

Awesome job!

Perfect man. Great idea.

Nice upgrades to the metal plate - looks safer than many others I have seen.

Yes sir! That is a better design👍🇺🇸

Great stuff!!!

Great info !!! Thanks

I made 3! Still work, but I need to replace the uprights...

Thanks bro .. they work great !!

I'm seeing all the prices for these torso targets. It is so stupid easily make your own,I'm speechless for this c***

I made one of your first video. Thank you.

What spring are you using with the carriage bolt?

This is a good video

Where do you get the springs for the bolts

Nice

Built 4 of these stands. Used 2 for targets with the 2x2's and used the other two along with a hinged cross-shelf (hinged to fit in the car) to make a shooting gallery that's easily held up using a couple of those 2x4 door barricade brackets. i.imgur.com/iGiXTBO.jpg

Can you put the measurements out on one of the videos, it would help the less experienced when trying to make these. Other than that good vid!

With all of that red clay u MUST be somewhere north of Montgomery lol

How well do you suppose these would work for paper targets if the feet were only 16" from front to back?

Whats the length of the carriage bolt u used for the version 2.0? Thanks

Music poppin

Where did you buy the screw and spring for steel target? Thanks

I can tell you this. This target stand is no longer $8.

Does this hold up to 308?

Just get a t post and asteel target, tpost hanger and stop playing with lumber. Also, why are you training to shoot dwarves and children?

I just built one and paid $12 for 1 2x4. Thank you China and Covid.
