but killed my first target stand today . there was a collection of small caliber holes in the frame already, 22lr and .223, but today finished it for good. it survived 4 or 5 .40 on the right side (Thanks mom), but 3 or 4 .40 in the bottom piece left it held together more by cardboard than anything else. ah well, was a good time

Won't be the last I'm sure. That's why they're made of the cheapest wood possible, so that you don't groan when you have an oops.

Your first of many. They die an honorable and noble death, knowing they sacrificed all to help make you a better shooter.

that's my thinking. and even if I pay for a new one at CR, rather than building one, cost doesn't even make a dent in what i've spent on this hobby already..

Am I the only one who kills them on purpose? 100 yards plus bench rest with my K31 :-P

It's a fact of life at any firing range. We replace them twice a year. Fortunately one member does his w\required work hours building them.

 

What is aggravating is when a member hangs a target over the upright instead of in the center where they are told resulting in the upright getting shot out. But after a while frames just need replacing.

I prefer to call it...unintentional stake cutting.

I buy these little birchwood casey metal stands that stick in the ground that are made of 1/4" roundbar and hold a 24x24" piece of corrugated plastic for use at the outdoor range. I have enough skill to at least avoid hitting the metal frame but when i bring one friend, his skills are a bit more remedial and always ends up blasting the legs off it. Last time I brought him, he ruined two in one session. Needless to say, he has to supply his own targets from now on.
