[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 45927, member: 25"] We keep it simple. 3/8 or 1/4 inch plate, cheapest I can find and whatever size. Prefer 2'x4'. Used to use old swingsets, now have a simple, portable stand setup that is cheap, easiy repaired and just plain works for what we do. Leg angle can be varied, which in turn varies how high the target sits above the ground. We simply hang the big sheets of steel from "S" hooks, no chain anymore, vary the leg angle till the sheet is just clear of the ground. Then low shots do not get under, we can spot about anything we shoot. I have some jpegs of the new stand and plate setup if anyone wishes to see them or put them up. Hardened steel is not needed for our .308 rifles out at 700 to 1000, the .300 WSM bends it at 700 tho. [/QUOTE]
