The VTAC barricade plans are in the back of Lamb's book, "Green Eyes and Black Rifles."
It's a good read, pick it up. |

I laid one out using Google Sketch Up and built it a few months ago. Here are the measurements I used and a link to a ZIP file containing the 3D model:

I am making a couple right now, very similar to the above drawing but without the 6" cuts on the outer perimeter.
Mine are just steps of 12", which gets you two barricades from one piece of plywood. I made steel stands using 1" square tube. I'm painting them today and will try to remember to post a picture or two. ETA: This site really needs a forum for Targets and Range Props or something like that |

As promised, here's a picture of the two I just finished today:
I kept the bottom off the ground about 6" so I can use the space between the barricade and the ground as another shooting port. I may add another port, maybe a round one, but I didn't want to get too many as I will be using these for matches and I think with too many ports it could get confusing. These came from one sheet of 4x8 plywood. |

The legs are simply through-bolted to the plywood with carriage bolts. You can see the heads of the carriage bolts in the photos above.
I don't have any blueprints, but the "steps" are 12" wide by 16" high, and I just "winged" the ports. The square one is 6"x6", the others are 2" high, one is 10" long and the diagonal one is about 8" long I think. ETA: The legs on the back are just the 1" tube going straight up from what you can see in the photo under the plywood. The legs don't attach to each other, just to the plywood. I think if I did it again, I'd make the legs have a horizontal piece to help to support the plywood, but these don't have that. |

Maybe get some channel that your thickness of plywood fits in and come up from each foot and then connect the tow feet together to form a "U" that the plywood sets in. To transport/store/replace you could pull the plywood out of the base. |
