Nice! I was thinking of building something very similar. I like the looks of yours!

I bought a deer blind a few years back, framemade out of 3/4" PVC that I like better that the Ameristep I own.
Gotta take some pictures I guess.

Nice target holder. What PVC size did you use?
Glad I'm not a deer your hunting too .

Al use the 3/4 inch PVC. The 1/2 inch is too light and the wind would bend it and blow it too much. It was windy yesterday, in fact the wind was blowing so hard the target came out of the holder twice, but nothing a short walk and a few choice words could not fix. I really like it. My intentions are to cut my new range through the woods, then build an elevated bullet trap with this in front of it.

My problem is winter. When the snow banks get too high, I am limited to one distance, where ever the bench was frozen to the ground. This way if I do it right, I can shoot off my front porch. Which means, rain days are a thing of the past...

Try the 5" squeeze clamps found in lumber yards for wood working. very strong springs and the tips have a rubber coating.
