Target Stands

I was doing some maintenance on my stands, repainting, rust removal etc and thought it may be of interest to others to see them.  These are from two companies:

All the plates and stencils

The stand braces and hangers

The stand is made from 3/4" pipe, I put caps on the feet to keep the mud out and one on the end to keep the brace or targets from sliding off while I am loading (sliding them on) the targets.  The reactive one is kind of cool, the center jumps if hit letting you know when you hit the bull.  I started hanging them by chains but seen the AR500 hangers and liked them as every once in awhile the chain would get nicked so changed some out.  I left the chains on the reactive one because of the second plate though.  I have the magnetic stencils too but just had not gotten that far yet.  I also have wooden ones for my paper targets, but they are just DIY H pattern ones, I may update with a pick of them later.

So show us your stand, give others ideas in case they are looking.

Nice set up.  I have several of the same gongs.  I have not made a stand for them yet.  I am going to do something similar to yours.

Yes, they are nice, I was going to get a couple more sets but I came across these so may just try them out.  Seems easier to load them on the rack and are a couple dollars cheaper:

Target Hangers

These don't use bolts so I can theoretically leave them on the cross bar and just remove the targets to put them away.  The only issue I see is that when the gong swings back down it may come off, but I kind of doubt it will do that.
