Used political yard signs; H-shaped wire frame with a corrogated vinyl cardboard.
print my targets off the computer and staple them to it.

No pic needed.  I have a couple realtor yard sign frames I use for targets.  I use Elmers glue to double up cardboard, then cut to size with a utility knife.  Poke some holes and use zip ties to secure to the frame.  Staple gun on the targets and you are good to go.

no way to post a photo.
make mine similar to wileynet
except non-folding and closer
to the ground.
and put together with glue and
dowels so as not to have any
metal in case of ricochet or possible
accidental spark to cause fire (it stays
dry a lot) or metal fastener flying off
to get in tractor tire later.

we have a very generous gentlemen out in la plata, was able to declare his land under a homestead, he carved pits 12 ft down in his land with a borrowed dozer, put some tables out, and donated some awnings for the tables, you actually shoot up to his range stakes, that's why mines so tall about 55" to the top, also why i have the bench table at the 100 yard my rifle is level with the center of the target

FWIW-  I buy every old ironing board from every yardsale, thrift shop, and from dumpsters. They will stand alone on end, almost like a small human silhouette . They make good "poppers"

looks good. . .


i'd prefer to have mine higher like
that, but at my place the target butt
has to be lower for a safe shot because
of terrain.
the higher one would save a lot of
kneeling and bending down in the
chigger filled grass.

PVC frame for the bottom and 2x2's for target holder, cheap and easy to fix.

I just use a large cardboard box weighted with a chunk of firewood in the bottom.  I staple two targets on adjoining sides and when I want a fresh target, I just rotate the box a quarter of a turn.  When the box gets too shot up to use, I always have a spare.  It's light and disposable, requires no fabrication or maintenance.  Again, I'm old and lazy.
