I am going to make a new self supporting target stand to utilize some free cardboard spacers I can get. The range I shoot at requires that all target stands are made of wood materials to keep from puncturing the tires of the mower. So I am able to get some approximately 4' square thin cardboard spacers that a local bottler discards after consuming plastic bottles for their product. Like 80 or more each week of them. I already have a 6" tall stack of them I dragged home. They are pallet sized more or less and just over twice as thick as poster paper. I plan on making two folding target stands of an upside down "T" sided self supporting design I can slide the cardboard into, that will fold up flat for transport. One for full sized sheets and one for 1/4 sized sheets. I will use strapping and dowels and make them to conform to range standards. Then add some small florescent orange dots for a bullseye and I should be able to shoot free targets for life. I will post pictures of what I come up with---when I eventually get around to doing this in the fall. Have any of you guys ever already made anything similar? Someone might have a better idea than mine. I already asked about PVC to make the frame and was told wood only for the stands.
