I'm back to the Quantico Shooting Club, after being guaranteed that my chances of *not* being able
to shoot whenever the range(s) are scheduled to be open is less than 1%, and that's if one of the
RSOs calls in sick at the last minute.

So, I'm building a target stand tomorrow. Will let you know how it turns out. Planning on this one:

Looks pretty complex for a brittle old combat engineer like you. Maybe
you can get a neighbor to open the can of "glue."

Good luck a Quantico. They used to have the 900 inch line, 25 yards,
open most of the time which is good enough for pistols.

Your target stand should serve you well. The only thing I would do is
use water in the base rather than any solid. Take a couple of jugs of
water with you each time you shoot and when shooting is over just turn
the bottome over and the water runs out and your load to carry back to
the vehicle is lighter and when you take it into the garage it is
lighter too. The only other thing I would do is put a cross brace or two
in it by drilling holes in the wood and using carriage bolts with wing
nuts to put it together at the range.

Might do some cross bracing if it seems too loose. I'm thinking of just carrying a sandbag. I don't
plan on gluing everything together, 'cause I want to be able to break it down.

look who's talking, Mr. osteopenia. This coming from a guy who can't
even dig post holes without help. Can't do simple maintenance on the
boats he used to own. Can't clean the skungy sink next to his dirty
coffee pot. The list goes on and on.

Sure, a couple sand bags or even bean bags sounds good... If you have a
sewing machine or your wife does, you could make a nice little bag for
it too, or even a little pouch/envelope with a fold over top and a tie..

And yes, before the boys get in here. My wife has a couple cute little
sewing machines... I also have two, mine are for shoemakers though. They
are a bit older, and a lot bigger We use it for canvas or webbing, etc...

Why not sew yourself a little boat so you could at least appear to be a legitmate boater in here.

Yeah, lugging around sand bags sounds like a GREAT solution. Of course,
filling the bottom pipes with lead or steel weight would do the same,
but wouldn't be as much fun as lugging a cumbersome bag of sand...

Hey, maybe you can get a job doing that! Oh, wait, you don't want to be
employed.
