    Look at you! Well done, bro!

    @Gobbler ha! If I tried to sell one of these, somebody would say “ Who is the no talent hack that put this together? ” Pencil marks all over the place 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

    @Tom yet so easy, a caveman could do it…

    That's the only kinda targets stand I've ever shot. I remember as a kid loving to see the damage from a stray .22 round and the shotgun pellets lodged in the wood.

    @Appalachian 🤣👊. My 7mag has to be sighted in with a new scopes I hope so he wood survives it🤣

  • Appalachian's avatar

    @Mike yeah, probably wouldn't survive much of that action, dad's got a m77 in 7 mag and it has no mercy 🤣

    Regular pallets are too high a commodity, but if you are looking for some free wood, find a playground equipment supplier/installer. Their extra long pallets just get tossed after delivery. They can be 12-15’ in length. You won’t feel as bad shooting strays into it.

    Like the design

  • Mike's avatar

    @Stephen I’ve definitely destroyed a few pallets in my day. 👍

    Looks like a perfect target stand!👍

  • Mike's avatar

    @Mason broke it in today, it’s awesome!

    I’m pretty sure I have enough scrap little blocks and pieces left over from building the cabin to make about fifty of these. 😆 Love the idea! I’ll definitely be making a few of these.

    @Brad the base only has 3 measurements. 24”-17”-3 1/2”. Have fun with it 👊

  • Brad's avatar

    @Mike yeah I’m a pack rat. Anything about 10” or longer I saved. 😂

  • Gobbler Knob's avatar

    @Brad the struggle is real. I applaud you for the 10” threshold. I’m guilty of saving it all! 🤪🤣🤣

  • Brad's avatar

    @Gobbler I had a whole wheelbarrow full of stuff, less than 10 inches after getting done with the cabin. I had to draw the line somewhere I guess. 😢

  • Gobbler Knob's avatar

    @Brad unfortunately (for me!) I have too many totes into which I can put scraps and say “I might use this…”. 😂

  • Mike's avatar

    @Brad me too man
