Title: I built a target stand

Two foot sections of pipe, threaded on each end (except for the legs which obviously only need to be threaded at one end), 90 degree elbows, chain, connectors, and a bag of concrete all cost me about forty bucks from Home Depot. The plate was from the scrap bin at a job I used to work. Boss let me take it. I get the buckets free from the Fry's bakery but 4" PVC capped at one end would have a cleaner look.


What do you think?

Looks heavy, but very functional if you don't have to move it much!  8)

Looks good but as Shadow pointed out a bit heavy for moving around. I've found old real-estate sign holders work great.

Political signs make great stands and backers for paper targets.

Just a suggestion. You could drill some holes just behind the elbow on the bottom and attach some of those small wheels for a push mower.  Then you can just tilt it forward and roll it. With those buckets of cement on the bottom it ain't going anywhere.

It started-out as a joke, but note the opening....
