DIY Steel Target Stand 

Hi Russell! Was great chatting with you today. If you ever want to stretch the legs on that 7 Mag, let me know and we'll see how far we can get you to hit with it.

@@TwoMinutestoTarget Thanks! I really appreciate the offer! I'm definitely interested in learning more about long range shooting, so I may just have to take you up on that offer! Maybe when you have an outing in mind, email me at rjenkins95928@yahoo.com ? Looking forward to it, thanks!

You can sort of see it in the video, but it's: - 3 x 3/4" galvanized pipe - threaded - exact length is dependent on what you want to do. I have 24" and 36" versions - 2 x 3/4" galvanized elbows - threaded - 1 x 1" galvanized T fitting - validate this at the store. I think I used 1" T for the middle leg in the back. Outside diameter of 3/4" galvanized is 1.05" and outside diameter of 1" pipe is 1.305. The 3/4" should easily slide inside, allowing the movement you see in the video. - 1 x 1" pipe - length is dependent on how long your leg segments are - 1 x 1" aluminum tube - length is dependent on how long your leg segments are - Something to use as a pin to hold the aluminum tube inside the 1" pipe for the rear leg. You can find these on Amazon for boat trailers, etc. - 2 shaft collars for the 3/4" cross bar. As mentioned, the standard outside diameter of 3/4" galvanized is 1.05", so you will need something with an inside diameter larger than 1". You can go 28mm metric and I think they may 1 1/8" inside diameter. Look to see what is economical. Also, buy more than you need in case you hit one. These are also on Amazon, but you can also do a search for 28mm shaft collar on Google and find a bunch. All but the the last two are available at just about any local hardware store or Home Depot.

@@TwoMinutestoTarget thank you very much. I did see it in the vid but wasn’t 100% sure. Now I can take this list to Home Depot or ACE and get what I need. VERY APPRECIATED!

It's all hardware store parts, so nothing all that tough to get (or expensive). You can do the basic stand with screw-in elbows for less than $50.

@@TwoMinutestoTarget Interesting, that’s actually not bad, I’m definitely gonna have to build one on my free time. Thanks for the video. Every stand I’ve build/rebuild so far all ended up falling apart.

I put 5 in the 1" galvanized pipe and 7 in the aluminum. Key thing here is that the 1" aluminum fits perfectly inside the 1" galvanized pipe. 3/4" galvanized pipe WILL NOT fit inside the 1". Also, you'll see that I had a short 1" galvanized pipe that I used as and extension (along with the second T fitting). All this together gives me as much flexibility as I'll ever need. As an aside, tomorrow I'm testing my DIY target hit indicator under live conditions with both my 6mm and 300. Excited to see how it does!

A little too much for hoofing a quarter mile or so with a 70 lb target in tow. I actually have all the parts for an aluminum version, but haven't tried it out yet.

@@TwoMinutestoTarget I made one! It weighs in around 10lbs, WITH the 8" steel plate. Alu rod and plastic 3D printed connectors.

@@urgamecshk That seems about right - I'm using my big one with either my 20"x12", 24" round or 33" square plates. The last two SUCK to haul over terrain!

My recommendation would be to check with metal fabricators to see if they have any AR500 and can cut you a plate

@@TwoMinutestoTarget THANK YOU!
