The Birchwood Casey Boomslang is a great stand for compact travel, but inevitably, it’s going to meet its demise from unintentional, direct contact. Mine only lasted maybe 3 classes before a student managed to mow it down. I have also used a handful of cheap paper target holders for many years which are made the same way, I bought a dozen or so on clearance at Walmart of all places, every season someone seems to find a way to blast one of the upright supports and “kill” another one.
The Caldwell sled type, I have found much more resistant to single impact death, and less apt to take fire, since it’s farther from the target.

I’ve also hung many, many targets from simple “shepherd’s hooks” from the garden department of home stores (meant for hanging potted plants). Surprisingly, these will often take a direct hit from a high velocity bullet without yielding - not sure why, since they’re nothing more than mild steel rod stock.
My favorite set up for a portable/temporary home rack, however, if not using proper target hangers on T posts, is a home brew of angle iron. These will stand as their own “tipi’s,” or can be bolted together with one leg from each creating the cross bar, shaped like a swing set. The angle iron will take a lot more beating than expected, and it doesn’t suffer as much from spall, since the target isn’t coplanar with the legs.
Nice!
