What happens when the wind blows from behind the target (or do the hinge
legs extend forward as well)?

In any case, I like it. I stopped using the last one I made, which used
T-posts and routed 2x2s extending up. I got tired of carrying that and the
sledgehammer, but mainly I didn't want to be shooting at T-posts.

The legs do extend forward a bit, so the center of gravity is somewhat
behind the target. If it's very windy, I can always put a rock on the
back. I might toss a sandbag in the trunk for that eventuality.
