Steel Rifle Targets

Here are some pics of the target stands we made today. We made 7 of them whick took us ALL DAY!!! Still left to go is painting the wood or staining it.

So here is what it will look like to the student. I painted only the side facing up range. The other side is bare as you will see in the pics.

Finished target stand from the Front (this is what the student will see).

This is the backside. The target hangs off the back of the stand and the steel has an orientation so spatter goes down. So to set it up, painted side goes forward with white side to the rear. Simple!

The steel hangs onto the hooks by slipping the link over the hook on the backside.

The chain is spaced back so the steel hangs at an angle sending the spatter downward into the dirt. It is tough to see in this picture but they have a pretty good angle.

You simply slide the "upright" portion into the "base" right between the guide blocks and that's it. No screws or pins. Just a nice tight slip fit. Once in the base the entire setup is really solid.
