Target Stand Plans
This stand will get you VERY close to FITA specifications for height and angle when using a
48 or 52 target butt. They can be built in just a few hours, for around $25, using
treated 1 X 4s and stainless steel hardware. They should last a very long time. 2 X 4s can
also be used where the need for stability outweighs the need for portability. The bolts are
3/8 X 2-12. For 2 X 4s use 3/8 X 3 bolts. Use a 3/8 drill bit for a snug fit.
