I've made a few different versions
first one was just hanging from the bottom of my rifle target stand, but the splash from the bullet shredded the wood real quick
second one I made from galvanized water pipe.  that one is still going after a few years of use.

these are my latest.  1st one is from ebay for about $60 not including chain and targets.   targets are 10"x1/2" and 6"x1/2"




second one is made with 2x4's and bracket from ebay. brackets were about 20 and wood is all 4 foot lengths.  targets are 3, 4, 5, and 6" x 1/4".  this will be for pistol use

For those who own a Fabtek stand, what are the dimensions (esp. diameter) of each post, and the center-center spacing between the posts? Buying something for a lot of money, and shooting it up with .308 ammo makes it an expendable item. (I blame bad shots on ammo and Paka'a wind  ).

I went with this solution from Amazon. All steel. Steel conduit. Legs are 4’ and horizontal is 5’.

I didn't see these type of targets this weekend but are you saying they allow these type of targets at KSC?  Starting to get excited about shooting a rifle again.  I thought they only allowed stagnant paper targets.  I was already kind of depressed about the 5rds per magazine.  They should at least let use load 10.

Maybe I not seeing it but do you know why a shooting tree would not be allowed?  If it is about swinging outside of the frame, there are targets that swing back 90degress and snaps back to original position so it will stay within the frame.

I know you don't run the range, I'm just curious if you now the rational why it is not allowed.

I put out stands similar to stangzilla's with steel targets. I put them at the berm behind the 100 yard target stand pipes. I have seen guys put their stands close to other's wood stands and the RSO would instruct them to move them back so the splatter won't damage the neighboring stand. Even though I've put my stands out previously, I always check with the RSO before walking them out.

Assuming you only shooting paper, it's super cheap and easy.
One piece of 2x2x8 cut in half.
A couple pieces of scrap wood 14 inches long.
Some screws. Cardboard. Staples.
Don't overthink it.
I like to paint the top so it's easier to identify at 100 yards.
It's not uncommon to shoot the wrong target.

You no ober tink'ing, jus pake'
