Pro Tip: Cut 4 pices of 1"O.D. galv. pipe 3" long and pound them into the top of each conduit leg: The brackets will fit MUCH better, the stand will handle more weight and won't collapse endwise and bend the brackets in half.
Here I give the most cost effective and lightest option...ready? #36 tarred bank line! Ta-da! You can use heavier TBL as you think is needed. I use Catahoula TBL. No need for chains or straps. I have used TBL for years and have only had one break, it rubbed on a jagged edged hole caused by me hitting the crossbar support that the line was tied to. I use 3" to 4" bolts in the steel target holes and then tie the TBL to that. The length of the bolt will cause the target to have a hanging angle that will direct spalling to the ground. That angle can be adjusted toward the head of the bolt to reduce that angle. I use 2 additional nuts for that purpose.
Nice start for your series. Gun freak and DIY guy? 😐 I want you on my team when the Zombie Apocalypse comes. More shooting please. Only 16 videos? I'm excited.
You may get 2 shots on steel chain before it breaks. Using GOOD rubber will allow you to shoot the rubber multiple times before it breaks, and its cheap.

How is this a 'Pro' tip vs. common knowledge?
You're thinking too highly of yourself.

Awesome video i have really gotten serious about this channel love the content 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
What “mounts” did you purchase? What connects the legs to the 1” crossbar
Great idea!

0.20. Absolutely must have the FREE harbor freight tape measure hahahaha 😉
If my target has square 1/2” bolt holes will I still use the 3/8” bolts you use for the set up? Or do I get 1/2” hardware. Thx for a response.
Why not use 3/4 conduit for the cross bar, is it less strong torsionaly, therefore sags ?
Nice
where do i get the leg supports
Has this guy ever heard of steel chain

@@taronyapeek3404And when you edge hit the steel the bullet spray will cut the rubber like a knife
Steel chain is more costly with a significantly shorter lifespan
