I'm back to the Quantico Shooting Club, after being guaranteed that


my chances of *not* being able


to shoot whenever the range(s) are scheduled to be open is less than


1%, and that's if one of the


RSOs calls in sick at the last minute.




So, I'm building a target stand tomorrow. Will let you know how it


turns out. Planning on this one:

Good luck a Quantico. They used to have the 900 inch line, 25 yards,


open most of the time which is good enough for pistols.




Your target stand should serve you well. The only thing I would do is


use water in the base rather than any solid. Take a couple of jugs of


water with you each time you shoot and when shooting is over just turn


the bottome over and the water runs out and your load to carry back to


the vehicle is lighter and when you take it into the garage it is


lighter too. The only other thing I would do is put a cross brace or two


in it by drilling holes in the wood and using carriage bolts with wing


nuts to put it together at the range.




Might do some cross bracing if it seems too loose. I'm thinking of


just carrying a sandbag. I don't


plan on gluing everything together, 'cause I want to be able to break


it down.

Sure, a couple sand bags or even bean bags sounds good... If you have a


sewing machine or your wife does, you could make a nice little bag for


it too, or even a little pouch/envelope with a fold over top and a tie..




And yes, before the boys get in here. My wife has a couple cute little

sewing machines... I also have two, mine are for shoemakers though. They

are a bit older, and a lot bigger We use it for canvas or webbing, etc...



Why not sew yourself a little boat so you could at least appear to be a legitmate boater in here.
