Where I go shooting, the target stands are sometimes less than usable.

I recently saw an article in gun rag about making a target stand out of PVC pipe, and made one for my self, with a few slight changes.

If you don't have a good stand, here's a cheap, yet excellent stand, that can easily be transported to the range, even in a car trunk.

First the parts:

The wooden stakes are 4 foot long and are just inserted into the uprights.

Here it is, ready to go.

I then staple a standard silhouette to the stakes.

If you are going to practice silhouette shooting, you are ready to go.

If you want to do some precision shooting or test your firearm for groups, you can just add a target to the cardboard.
