Question 1

If you hang targets on the stand, what happens to the "target backer" when you shoot a lot thru it?  Seems it would get pretty shot up needing replace

Accepted Answer

The backing does get shot up but it takes a several hundred rounds.  You can offset the paper target to gain a little extra life.  The backing is just corrugated plastic that you can get at almost any hardware store (for sale signs are made of the same material).  If you miss the backing and hit the frame it can do damage...I would not use a shotgun.  I have 5 of the target stands that I set up at 50 yard increments.  They are very portable and easily placed.

Question 2

does it hold the stick on targets without falling off when shot with large cal

Accepted Answer

The plastic cardboard fits between the metal forks and it fits tight.  Bullets pass right through the plastic so there is not much force.  I have shot a 338 Lapua and never knocked out the target.  However I did hit the metal cross bar when shooting at 400yd with a 270Win...pretty much destroyed the metal arm...that is why I have four of them...set them up at various yardages and work my way out to 400+ yards.

Question 3

Can this stand be used as an archery target ?

Accepted Answer

I don't think it would work well as an archery target holder unless you don't mind your arrows going completely thru the target everytime. It wouldn't be able to hold a target beefy enough to stop arrows.

Question 4

One of the pictures shows a configuration where you can place a 2x4 on the stand to place bottles on. Does that configuration require 2 of these?

Accepted Answer

The only way it will support a 2x4, 2x6, or 2x8 for that matter is if you were to drill holes in the board accordingly to match up to the posts. Drill the holes and slide the posts straight through.
