Title: Target holder
Post by: seniorgeek on March 23, 2015, 03:06:41 PM

Hey guys I am making some target stand for use at Bridgeville Pistol and Gun range. What is the distance between the holes on the 100, 200, 300 range.
I  believe it is 24 inches but not sure. I don't want to build these this week and have them not fit the holes.

I plan on use PVC pipe so I can disassemble and put back in the trunk, plus I can replace any part that might get destroyed by a missed shot.

17 1/2 inches wide

I just made the 2 frames on the right for my buddy this past Saturday and he used them the same day.
The height is preference but anywhere from 40'' to 44'' should be fine

I'm going to try and make some cheap frames using furring strips and cardboard with 1 1/2'' pvc tubing at the base and see how they hold up compared to 2x3's or 2x4 frames.

Thanks for the distance measurements.
I am going to use 3" PVC pipe because I need to disassemble them to put in trunk of car for transportation.

I'm not sure what the exact inside diameter of the PCV in the ground at the range is but 3'' may not be able to slide down into what's there
I may go Saturday and could measure it then or maybe someone else may know the inside diameter and reply here.

I make my target frames out of old wire political sign frames. I can bend them to fit. I use bull clips to hold the target sheets, 2 on top and 1 on each side. Inexpensive and helps clean the countryside of political sign eyesoars after the campaign is over.

I use bull clips on the pistol range rather than trying to get the cardboard between the paracord.
