Henry, thank you so much for sharing this with me. I can wait to design and build it and share it here with the community.

Here you go. I build my stands from scraps left over from other projects. image
4 feet tall, 3 feet wide. Cross beams are right at 12 inch centers, so I can hang 12x12 targets on them. It can accommodate screws for hanging targets, and not even sustained 12 gauge fire can knock it over. Shoot a board to pieces, back out the screws, change the board, and run the screws back in. It is a little heavy though.

I would only suggest adding a couple of 45 degree angle braces from the risers to the legs.

wasn’t sure exactly what you were looking for … gun stand? … target stand? shooting bench?

found these:
Gun Stand:


Target Stand (IDPA/IPSC style)

link has a downloadable PDF for this:

Shooting Bench:

If you’re talking about setting up to practice shooting from something like a seated position at a desk, just a simple folding camp table and a decent chair is all you need.

No need to spend a bunch of money or build something big and bulky that you need help to drag around.
