Does anyone know of any basic plans to make a paper target holder for a outdoor range? I know you use 1x1 posts and cardboard, but I do not know the width of the posts and the basic height.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks, I basicly just needed the width at the base becaused I did not know the measurement of the holes in the ground at most ranges. I thought it would be better to make this at home instead of making the stands at the range taking up my my shooting time.  thanks again

buy 1 8' furring strip and cut it in half.
each half will be 4' long, then staple a sheet of cardboard to it depending on the size at the range.
as long as you have your furrings cut you're GTG.

This is what I do.  $2.25, one quick cut at an angle with the circular saw, bring my targets, a stapler, and a hammer to drive them into the ground.  Don't have to remember to retrieve it, don't care if some jackasses shoot it up.

Depends on if you're shooing midgets, children, or adults

I go around after the elections and take all the signs off the corners and polling places. I picked up an entire pickup truck load last election. If you ask the polling places if you can take them they will even help you load them up. I even got the 4 x4 big plastic signs. I do so enjoy shooting certain ones
