I just use a Shepherds hook. Very cheep and effective. If the steel target is a little too heavy then I attach a simple fence post stake to the hook and pound it in the ground. works like a charm.

I have found that the simplest, no weld target stand is a t post with a 6" piece of steel square tubing just big enough to slide freely over the post. Drill a hole in the tube and use a single bolt and affix to back of your target, then slide it down over the t post that you already pounded into the ground. You can adjust the height by either using a longer bolt and having it stop at the top of the post or a shorter bolt and bend one of the t post tabs to hold it up.
Will a T-post pounded into the ground with a target hung as described above stand up to repeated hits by, say, a 308 @ 100yd...or would it get knocked over and you have to go out and hammer it back down?
