Builder left 3 12'x2" Sch40 PVC pipes here last year. I was contemplating throwing them out when a light bulb popped on: Make an A frame target stand. Cut each piece in half, two halves per 90 degree side tee, one of the halves for the top cross piece and the other as a spare - or as a weight holder for the bottom side of the backers.

Only remaining detail is how to hang the backers. I see options for hanging clays and steel targets - but how about thick cardboard? Anyone know if a commercially available solution exists? If not I'd like to hear some ideas for making backer clips or hangers.

For cardboard I would just get some heavy duty paper/binder clips and string/ rubber band them up.

Could even string some from the bottom to hold cardboard tight.

Good suggestion. I'll see what the local hardware stores have. Need to buy the side tees there anyway.

Those are occasionally going to suffer rounds.  Arent they going to  split and fail?
