Range and Shooting Target Stands

Use a Shooting Target Stand to Make Firing a Rifle or Pistol More Enjoyable

When you want to be able to improve your accuracy when shooting a rifle or a pistol, having a target to hit is important. Shooting target stands allow you to keep a target in place while you shoot at it. Choosing the right target stands requires you to know what to look for.

Before you purchase a gun target stand, it is important to consider your intended use for it. Some stands are designed for use with a pistol and will not stand up to the wear and tear that rifle rounds will cause if they hit it. Steel target stands that are made from thick, durable steel are ideal for someone who plans to shoot both rifles and pistols, because they are designed to be strong enough to stand up to any rounds you fire at them.

When you practice firing your weapons, portability with your stands can come in handy.

• Try different ranges – Portable stands allow you to practice shooting your weapons at different locations.
• Try different distances – Target stands on eBay that are portable provide you with the ability to change the distance that you are firing. Rifles fire further distances than pistols and if you plan to shoot any long-range weapons, having the ability to easily change the distance of the target stand will be important.
• Temporary – Portable target stands are temporary. You can set them up and take them down quickly. This means that you do not have to leave them in place when they are not in use so that they are not an eyesore in your yard or get in the way when you need to maneuver around them.
• Affordable – Portable target stands are often affordably priced. Fixed target stands can cost a lot of money because they are so much heavier than the portable options.

You can choose from a few different types of shooting stands. Stationary stands stay in one location when you fire at them. They hold the target in place even after being hit. Hanging target stands hang from an overhead structure and swing when they are hit. This allows you to try to hit a moving target when you are shooting. Adjustable stands allow you to switch between larger and smaller targets, as needed. The adjustable target stands are great for people who plan to shoot both pistols and rifles as targets for pistols are often smaller than rifle targets.
