This target stand is the item I been looking for. It is so simple and portable. I assembled it quickly and it is sturdy. I did not use the screws that came with it. I wanted to break it down easily and I wanted all the pieces to remain with each other for ease of transport and storage. I went to the hardware store and purchased 1x2 furring strips: (2) 6 foot, (2) four foot. I purchased 4 pins, 1/4" in diameter, 2 inches in length. I cut one 4 foot 1x2 furring strip into 4 pieces for the legs. I fit those pieces in the base and drill 1/4 holes in to the wood. I then inserted the 1/4 " pins into the holes to hold them into the base. They where a bit tight, but the held them in place nicely. Next I took the other 4' 1x2 furring strip and inserted then into the base. I did not cut this strip, I wanted to be able to adjust the width, based on the targets I use. The metal strips that are included, I had to bend them so the line up with the holes for the knob studs. Once I installed the knobs, I slid the 1x2 into the base. I had to push up on the metal tab so the furring strip could slide in. Once I done both sides. I left them on. I installed the metal strips for the upright supports and did the same thing to get the knob stud to line up. I need to purchase 2 Velcro strips to secure the up right strips and the " legs". See attached pictures. I scribbled numbers in the base strip, not the best. I probably will use a label maker.

Exactly what I was looking for

After reading reviews and looking for something to transport to shooting range I settled on this one. I'm glad that I did, I like that you can make them any size due to the 1x2 pieces of wood you cut. I used some hooks and rebar to hang my binking targets and then used the clips they came with for paper targets. Like how easy it was to put together and take down once the wood was cut. I'm very pleased with this purchase. There was a small breeze where I shoot, but there is plenty of debris to hold them down if it gets bad. This is so much better then the pvc I used before.

I have multiple pieces of wood for separating the vertical stands apart to accommodation different targets, and multiple vertical pieces of wood as well. In part as replacements, but also to give additional height when necessary. Would buy again.

They hold the targets steadier than the two crackheads I had paid earlier. Zero flinch.
