Feedback on Target and Stand

Ive been using a couple of these kits and work good.


This one would probably be a little better since conduit will work for legs and crossbar.

If it’s made of steel then it should last well enough and not get chewed by spall like wood does.
Being in line with the target the vertical legs will cause any paint to get chewed up and likely rust if left in the elements if that matters to you.
It should avoid tipping but having it tilted back a bit will help to avoid flipping forward. At least have a leg that comes out front to brace it a bit. This is my 750 yard vertical target stand but the bottom legs actually extend under the grass out front traced with the red line.

If you leave it up and they have cows, they will tip stuff over if they can.
That’s my main issue with the emt conduit brackets, cows catching a horn under the leg and toppling the whole stand over lifting their head and sliding the legs out.

I’ve gone to the sawhorse A frame style on my new stands so that the weight is hung between the two legs instead of over one. Less toppleable.
This one obviously isn’t mobile though.

I’m with @spife7980 , I’d have it tilting back, moving the front legs forward a bit, A frame like, just so it doesn’t swing back then forward and fall face down. Otherwise it looks good. I used an old wing set that was left on my property and hung plates, worked well

Be careful about shooting angles. Ideally you want the target at a little angle to direct the spall down. Having swinging targets helps, but as they get bigger, the swinging directs less spall down.

It looks like you have a big single plate, with every target connected it may never stop swinging. If you shoot it as it swings twords you, it may be more likely to splash you with lead.
