Anyone have a better idea than this for a target stand to take to the range?

Looks like a pretty good target stand. You can fill the bottom with
sande or water to keep it in place when there is a bit of wind.


If he fills sections of tube with something solid, or seals the ends of
a couple of the base tubes with sand inside, he can break it down and
carry it in his bag without filling and un-filling the base...

That's the plan. Small bag of mortar mix ought to work well. I'll just fill the bottom 'feet', but
leave them unglued so I can disassemble them easily.

The only issue I see is getting the mortar plugs to not shrink when
setting and fall out.. Might have to put a screw or a dowel through the
side of the pipe before or after setting the mortar??

A dab or two of PVC glue at each end after the mortar dries should hold it in place. Good thought
though. I'd not have considered it until the mortar fell out at the range with everyone watching!

What ranges will you be using this at? What I am asking is at the range
you are shooting at, is there a chance of blowing the hell out of your
stand? I like that idea and may build one myself.
