Is that a hole I see in one of the 1x2s? Oops! You're not following
through!

It is, made by a guest. I used those sticks last year with stakes I
pounded into the ground. Hardscrabble ground, I'm gonna like this
setup a lot better.

I haven't missed COM by that much for several years, Tom, neither at
25 yards or with point 'n shoot rapidfire getitdoneNOW doubletaps not
using sights at all. GMAFB!

Do you think that might work at a farm in central MN, say Dassel? How
about Friday? You probably would have to stay for fresh picked
asparagus with yellow tail snapper followed by apple pie.

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.

I would think it should have some forward legs as well so a bit of wind
doesn't tip it over in the forward direction.

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.

It has that. TBD if it's enough. Maybe I can get a local politician
to stand on the hinge...

Gunsmoke, aspergrass, yellowtail and apple pie, how could I resist?
What time?

I did save the pictures, I especially love the clamps. This summer
I'll be doing some outdoor rifle at a range I finally got invited to
and I may make one of your stands. I get to dust-off my .223s and I
haven't loaded for them in many years. I've got to limit my indoor
range use, my blood/lead level has bumped up quite a bit. I'm told
it's probably from primer fumes but I'll be extra-special careful in
all my casting, loading and shooting. I'm over 1k pistol rounds per
month. I even ordered some jacketed bullets...how sacrilegious!

Nice and on topic! Metal rods are likely heavy enough to keep wind from toppling your
target.

Sounds great, but I think he's gonna introduce you to an Asian woman.
He said "yellow tailed snapper", right?

(sorry, de debil made me do it)

P.S: I just wish aspergrass didn't smell so bad on the way out.

I like the idea of a rock, or even a piece of log, as those are always
nearby.

Looks like I've got a new project now, building a Foreman Target Stand ®.
