      nice sturdy design. I don't think wind will affect your stand. The vertical portion of the stand slides into the base assy. I assume for portability??

        yep exactly. They just slip into the slot and hold vertical. It's pretty sturdy, I'd trust banging away at a plate all day with the .308.

          I can see my wife rolling her eyes if and when I build a stand like yours in the garage (hee hee hee). Short of a large caliber direct hit, that stand should last a very long time!!

            Instead of steel plate maybe get something you can shoot thru like those rubber targets. Self sealing type.
            Less splatter on your wooden target holder.

            One possible vendor.
            'Cuz big holes are easier to see.

            You can correct my spelling and grammar error anytime.
            I welcome it. How else would I learn.
