If there are any Carpenters that would like to collaborate on the design of a range stand, please let me know.
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.
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.
