Easy to Make Target Board

[Tb54]

I run a line of wood screws through the board so they stick out a half inch or so on the target side. Five or so on top and same on the bottom. Makes changing the paper quick and easy, just poke the screws through the edge of the paper.

I save a few political signs after elections. You do candidates and the public a favor by picking these up. (but do check with the candidate, some save election to election) These days they are made of corrugated plastic and are weather resistant. The small ones come with wire legs. Ready to use until they are shot up and no cost to you. But windy day shooting would be problematic with these.

I would not worry about the center hole, I would worry about someone shooting the upright of the stand. Been there and done that.

And how! I have had many target stands and have many targets. And there is always some A-hole that shoots up the framework, mechanisms, cables, holders, etc..

To make the board last longer cut a 8in. hole in the center of the board then fasten your target over the hole.

that is a great piece of advise, the hole in center.

Don't overlook old real estate signs, the push-ins are nice and sturdy. The posts with hanging signs make excellent hangers for swinging gongs. Just made a dandy steel holder out of the uprights from a discarded treadmill. Gold is where you find it.

Used election signs are the shiznit. Cheap and disposable but will last forever.
