I can't claim to be the designer of this handy and inexpensive target stand, I swiped the idea from Jim Carmichel. But it's a dandy....
It's comprised of four 10' lengths of 1.5" PVC pipe and fittings, elbows, etc as shown. The two "target frames" themselves are glued together as two units but the feet and top crossbar are left removable for easy transport. The "frames" can be used singly or stacked as shown, with targets in both frames. The frame sides were cut on a tablesaw so as to leave a "slot" for the target backing to slide into. Dense foam insulation as sold in sheets are the best material for backing but cardboard, plywood etc can be used too....
It's quite steady in a breeze but for really windy conditions the bottom part of the lower frame and the feet can be filled with water. (Or sand)
Works for me! :-D
