Folds up nice and mostly happy with it.

edit: notice I didn't unfold the right front leg fully for pic. you get the idea tho.

I saw some at hardware hawaii last week.

I brought in some at X-Ring they use 3/4" conduit and are a lot lighter.  Check them out.

target frame did well with 556, 7.62x39, and 7.62x51
had some damage to the C clamp or D clamp, whatever its called on the right side holding the target bc it got shot
and the hose clamps came a little loose from the shooting
but the frame was good.

Thanks for the follow up stangzilla! What are the rough dimensions for your stand I see in your original post you mentioned a 10 foot length cut in two, but nothing looks 5 feet long did you cut them again so the legs are approximately 2.5 feet long?

Yes, that's it.
There's also a small nipple piece between the t joint and the 90 degree joint

we had some discussion of metal targets at the GTG on friday
one thing that was mentioned was that you can use paracord to tie the target
rounds go right through the strands, only burning/melting the fiber a bit
credit to kenace and speed for this idea

i was kinda thinking of running line/rope through my chains links as a back up

Stang how much does it weigh, the whole set up altogether with ball and chain?
Just wondering how much has to be carried to the 100 yd marker...

i'll weigh it when i get home tonight.

the paracord is a good idea.
on mine, i have extra chain.  theres a foot on each side, but i only used half of it.
in case a link breaks, i have extra i can use.

Total weight with chain and steel target = 19 lbs
Light as a feather.

Is the frame able to be easily placed in the back seat of a car?

It can be folded flat to about 2 feet x 2 feet

That thing was really nice.  Thanks for letting me shoot at it.  What do you think of hanging two targets from the frame?  one medium target and one small size?  not sure how that would work, but just a thought.

Was the steel target purchased locally or through the net?

I got mine from Ebay a while ago.
but there is a thread of a guy making them locally.
