homemade bag target stand

[Magwa45]

Thinking of putting together a target stand for a Morrell bag target using 4x4s and 2x4s. Might just slap it together, but does anyone have any plans for such a thing?

Two PVC elbows, two Ts and 5 or 7 pieces of PVC depending on how you cut. I have one in my backyard.

I've got one in the backyard, used three treated 2x4x10's, weighs a TON!!!   Go the PVC route, it's a lot easier to move when its time to mow.

I think the easiest and cheapest target stand is a cardboard wardrobe box from a moving company.  You can't leave it out side but it is so easy to move that it works great.

These are very stiff boxes that are about shoulder hight if you are 5'8" like me and have two handle holes on either side.  They also have a metal bar that goes from one side to the next for hanging clothes inside the box for transport.

I just hang the bag from this post and then shoot.  Eventually you will have a shooting window to the bag.  Of course you can cut a window in it but what fun is that.

If you don't shoot the window out to big you can always pin paper targets to it.

I use wire fence posts.  The kind with notches running the leangth of it.  I hammered two in the ground about 4 feet apart then I lashed a piece of 2x2 across the top to help keep it from sagging inward.

Next I hung the bag by tying the corners with cord.  When I don't want the bag i just untie one side and swing it out of the way.  The cross beam also comes in handy for hanging targets like nerf balls and ballons.

You can kind iof see what I'm talking about in this photo I took of my buddy.
 

Also comes in handy with my cheapo hand cut cardboard targets.

I use two t-post and either rope or heavey bungie cord to absorbe some of the shock. You can see them in the back ground of my shooting range.
