I have a great pistol range here at the homestead, but am lacking for a long range place to shoot.
I can use my pistol range once the soybeans are harvested, but for now I had to improvise.
I have a large patch of weeds 95 yards downrange from my car in the driveway.
So I took two scrap 2x6's and two nails and made a passable target stand.
One nail goes in the middle of the back.
It holds the prop in place.
The other nail goes near the top on the front and holds the target.
If you look real hard you can see the nails in the left board, one just above the paper on the left side and one at the bottom of the paper on the right.
Next stand the nailed board up and lay the prop on top of the back nail like the picture, and there you have it.
It takes 3 seconds to set it up.
Now just poke the nail through the target and fire away.
One drawback is the target tends to tear but it is still functional and you can't beat the price or convenience.
It's also not too good in the wind but hey what do you expect for free.
It got the job done and is still waiting for the next time.
Still clinging to my God and my guns,
Randy

It's about time.If you're going to post that you aren't dead yet, you need to post oftener. On the up side, our chickens and ducks are in freezer camp and I may actually be able to sell my second cutting hay at a profit. I hope your health has improved. JEL
