Target Stands
by BEAST Enterprises
(8/07)
As with may such stories, these stands came about when I needed stands for my family’s ranch. I went through several designs before I hit upon the venerable “H” in steel tubing.
“The Rest”, as they say, “is History.”
However, handling and storing traditional stands is somewhat awkward so I came up with the “folding” innovation. The legs are secured using 1/4” bolts with Wing Nuts so as to speed the process. These are UTILITARIAN target stands, intended to be thrown in the back of the truck, thrown out on the ground and to be, yes even, SHOT at!
Thus, the stands are dip painted so both the insides and outsides are coated. The legs are drilled for spike style stakes. The tolerance between the upright and the wooden furring strips (1x2”) is such that they can be tilted in the designed direction to accommodate cardboard backers from 18” out to 24+”.
I note with interest that when we started these stands in 1996, no one else was web-selling them. Over the past few years that number jumped to 12, then settled back down to about half a dozen. I note with particular interest that a couple of these websites put “rebuttals” in their “benefits” pages that are designed to bolster their claims over the BEAST stands. Pretty amusing to my way of thinking. If my stands are the standard to rebut, I MUST be doing something right (G)
I Still have the Dillon’esk “ALMOST No BS Warranty,” wherein, if the stand breaks for fails, for the lifetime of the stand, I will replace it with no questions.
>>IF<< however, you SHOOT the stand, I’ll give you a good (smiling) hard time BEFORE I replace the stand for you.
