I recently made 8 of these for our local range. Been years since anyone re-built target stands....
Anyway they are cheap, stable and we really like them. The only change I made was to put a "T" in the front corners in place of the 90 degree elbows. This alows cleaning out drit etc and allows rain h2o to drain out.

I will post pictures next week after range session.

nice stands......

I'm planning on building one of those soon. I'm going to drill holes for tent stakes because we have alot of wind around here. Primarily when I go hunting, fishing, or shooting, the wind picks up!

Very handy.

Here is another good use for some PVC:

I always put out a tarp to catch my brass when shooting outside the shooting hootch. Now I am going to buy some PVC and make that Brass Catcher.
I appreciate that idea big time...so will the others that scrape up brass all the time.

That's a neat idea! I use a couple of Jammit stands, but my daughter shot one of the bottom clips and it doesn't retain a solid hold on cardboard if the wind picks up just right.

I make mine completely of PVC. I use elastic bands and plastic clothes pins to hold the targets. Cost around $4 each stand. Keep extra pipe and fittings on hand to do instant repairs. use connectors to splice the pipe when necessary.

Front and rear pieces 20 inches (two)
Side pieces 16 inches (4)
Up-rights 12 t0 24 inches (2)
T's (4)
90 deg. elbows (2)






Wood supports 1 1/2 x 1 1/2
67 inches (2)

I was up to the range to cut the 25 and 50 yard holders to a height that would keep the rounds in the berm. Lo abd behold someone has shot one of the new holders and blown out an elbow in only 4 days....dang.

Been using that for years. There is a post somewhere on here that has mine in it. I prefer to glue mine as it adds strength to the frame.

This is the target stand that I make and use. It is made out of 1” PVC and breaks down and re-assembles in moments. With this design you don’t need clips or bands to hold the cardboard on the stand I use the stick on targets. I made 5 of these for the Texas Meet-N-Greet and it only took about a ½ hour to complete.

Picture one is the target stand broken down.

Picture two is the stand assembled.

Picture three is a close up of how the cardboard is held on the PVC.

Forgot to add that the vertical cut on the uprights that holds the cardboard was made with a skill saw. I just set the blade at about 1/2 inch and clamped the upright in my portable worktable and ran one cut.
