You actually need 2" wood for a snug fit NOT 1 1/2". Try the fit at the store. Also, use 2 feet lengths on each side of the tee. A good breeze may tip your stand.
Thank you so much my friend for doing this video! I’m commenting 4 years after you made it- but I just came back from Home Depot and put it together! You are one of my favorite You Tube channels! Thanks again- Long live the Republic!W.F.L21in Cali- unfortunately!
I would glue everything except the two horizontal pieces so it could be disassembled. Also, you can just staple your cardboard to the 2x2s and forget the plywood. Just a thought to keep portable. Not all of us have home range you luck dog.
PVC is definitely the way to go. I built similar stands a few years ago. They lasted almost 2 years with lots of abuse. ( a few misplaced rounds of bird shot did them in. LOL!) They are super conveinient. I did not glue mine because we were traveling to different ranges. I just slid them apart and tossed them in a duffle bag I found at Goodwill. Well done. Got to love projects.
Wife and I have been shooting a lot lately using old discarded campaign signs, been thinking about building something similar to these! Thanks for the tips! Real nice!
Cool trick is if you fold a piece of 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. It's the same size as the A zone of a USPCA target. For the head I use a credit card to trace might be a little smaller but tighter tolerances.
If you glue it together and it gets shot accidentally it is harder to fix. If you just stick it together and accidently shoot the stand it's easier to replace the individual piece that was shot. It is easier to travel with if you break it down throw all the pieces in the box
I like your design but think I will put end caps on the base and fill with sand, blocking the riser with wood plug held by hot glue. This might help in a light breeze.
Very cool my friend, one thought, do you think the wind will blow them down? With the big wind catch on top may blow over. Just a couple suggestions, one you could fill the bottom tube with concrete (cheap and pretty easy). Or you could go get a couple, per target, large nails from home depot. They are like ground spikes, I think like a 3 penny nail or something, .89 cents. Then you could drill a hole through the ends of the feet and spike them into the ground. Just a thought... Very cool
Only change I would suggest is to not glue the crossbar on so it takes less space in a truck or automobile. I have a pvc stand I designed but yours looks better in that it won't tip over. I have to pile rocks at the base of mine.
would adding caps at the bottom and filling with sand make them better? I am about to make some and am wondering if there is any stability issues with wind where sand would be needed
Cool, I'm a retired plumber so this is right up my alley. Went down to Lowe's and got it together and these are fantastic thanks.
Mine are still going strong . Had to re glue them this year. cheap and easy

I thought you were going to say it was right up your pipe
This is probably the best and most simple video of making a shooting stand. Thank you!

Thats awesome! Some good ol UA-cam engineering!
Thanks for watching. They are working great
Just finished building one. It was a piece of cake by following this video. Great tutorial.
Glad it helped, Happy shooting

thanks my friend, Would love to have you at my range someday.
Great video! I love these, and I don't think they will ever wear out. Uses mine for years now and there still going strong!
Thanks for watching. I agree they will hold up well
Thanks for sharing this great plan, they are so simple and sturdy. Really great..

Just made a new version of the target stand - may put up a video
Thank you for this! Great ingenuity! And saves me some money😁

They are still working great, Used them yesterday
yesssssss i saw your post after saying the same thing LOL
this is awesome,,looking forward to more videos as you work on your range!
Thanks for this. It's pretty dope!
Good stuff. I have made PVC stands for over 20 years. Not one time has it ever occurred to me to use wood. Super cool.
Thanks for watching. Neat project
Nice job. Those targets will definitely work.
Thank you and Thanks for watching.
Awesome set up. wish I had my own range.
Yes it is nice to walk out my backdoor and shoot. Will be shooting this weekend.
U earned a sub
Thanks
This was awesome thanks mate
Pretty cool .thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Very cool, I have something similar made of steel tubing but have it pretty shot up now.
Thanks for watching
Very neat.
Thanks

Nice job dude. I'm gonna make a few. Thanks bud.
Thanks for watching
Good job my man!!!!!!👏👌😎

Thanks for the tips and Thanks for watching.
You bet, just my experiance
Awesome job man :)
Carry out Pizza boxes work good too
Did you have any problems of it falling over due to wind?
nice...plan to make some myself
Awesome, Thanks for watching.
hey do you think this can support the weight of some steel targets ?
No, high wind they tip over.
How much to make? Great video👍
Only change I would suggest is to not glue the crossbar on so it takes less space in a truck or automobile. I have a pvc stand I designed but yours looks better in that it won't tip over. I have to pile rocks at the base of mine.
I glued mine together because I have a range in backyard. Thanks for watching
Nice work, Thanks for the info
Thank you and Thanks for watching.
Looks great!
Thanks for watching
Very helpful my friend.
Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing! ? Where did you get the template to make the target?
Google IDPA target size. there are a number images to show sizes
would adding caps at the bottom and filling with sand make them better? I am about to make some and am wondering if there is any stability issues with wind where sand would be needed
+Byron Marroquin They are ok on windy day. Putting sand in the feet would help. Thanks for watching
I like it!
Thanks, They work great
Looks good
Thanks for watching.
Easy DIY Target Project
Thats cool
Thanks for watching.
Love the stands but 2 cost me 80 dollars
*Don't use PVC glue.*
*If some jackass shoots the stand it's easier to replace a section if it's NOT cemented together with glue.*
how height is or back stop/berm
about 8' in the back
@@live4wild968 8' high and how wide??
@@opiesteinbaugh 20ft or so
@@live4wild968 thk
Can I have your steel targets? : )
LOL :) love my steel. I have more coming
