The other day, I realized that my new permanent range was not going to be enough -- because due to where it is, I cannot access it after a rain, and never without a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
So, I decided to build a portable target system. Basically, it consists of 4 2X4X8 peices lumber, and a peice of plywood.
I cut three 2X4X8s in half (making 6 4' long peices), and cut another one into 2 3' long peices.
It is sort of an easel design.
Here is a view from the front.
Here is a view from the rear.
Note the hinges on the rear-view pic. This lets you adjust the angle the thing is sitting at.
Here are some pics with the plywood on. Notice the rear pic has the 2X4s going up the side. This is where NOT to place the target .... hopefully, the frame will not get shot up.
So, what do you all thing about this design? Does anyone else have a design for portable shooting that can be moved around?
Yes, I could just get one of those steel Hoppes things, but it is cumbersome to use those little clips to affix the targets, then they're blowing all over the place...
This thing is basically in two peices -- you just put it in the vehicle, drive to where you want to go, set it up, staple your targets to the plywood and let the lead fly...
Comments and/or pics of other THRers portable setups please!!!
