Recently at a Florida LGC Range day I brought some PVC target stands. Keith (our local chapter President) suggested I post this "how-to" to the forum. Here is a link to the stands I built.

The main difference mine that I brought to the range day and the ones in the link is that I wanted mine to be a little more portable. In that I skipped steps 2 and 3. Instead of filling the base with rocks I decided that I would fill the base with water. I also opted to not cement in the upright assembly. btw each base will take about a gallon of water to fill. ~B

Re: PVC Target Stands
4Interesting, but pregnant with much fail.
First, if you glue it together, you can't take out a piece you shot a hole through and replace it.
Second, if you make the pieces different lengths, you can't replace pieces unless you have a copy of each length.
Solution: make all pieces the same length. Don't glue them. Carry a few spares and spare fittings in a bag you make from the leg of a worn out pair of jeans. Weight down the legs with rocks at the range.
True story, bros.

Re: PVC Target Stands
5nice but overdone. rebar in the "feet" holds em down pretty good. second the "no glue", and thinner pipe is harder to hit, hence fewer repairs
i'm retired. what's your excuse?
