IDPA/IPSC Target Stands — Durable, Range-Ready Bases for Cardboard & Steel
SKU: 100005007 • Category: Competition & Training Target Bases • Use: IDPA, IPSC/USPSA, Defensive Pistol, 2-Gun/3-Gun, LE/MIL Training
Build a reliable stage, zero faster, and train smarter with IDPA/IPSC Target Stands (100005007)—rugged, range-proven bases designed for cardboard silhouettes, official metric/Classic targets, and many steel hangers. Whether you’re setting up a backyard practice bay or building a sanctioned match, these stands deliver fast setup, solid stability, and repeatable alignment so your drills run smoothly and your stages reset quickly.
Why These Target Stands Stand Out
Match-Grade Versatility: Sized for standard IDPA and IPSC/USPSA targets; works with 1×2 furring strips or slats so you can staple targets high or low without cutting custom uprights.
Rock-Solid Base: Wide-footprint design resists tipping in wind and during rapid strings. Add tent stakes or sandbags for extra security on uneven terrain.
Fast Assembly: Tool-free or minimal-tool setup (depending on configuration). Drop in your 1×2 sticks, staple, and you’re live in minutes.
Tough Materials: Built from powder-coated steel or heavy-duty composite (based on package configuration) to shrug off weather, mud, and frequent transport.
Flat-Pack Friendly: Low-profile footprint slides into range carts, trunks, and club trailers; stack multiples without a rat’s nest of parts.
Stage-Builder Approved: Square, repeatable geometry makes it easy to duplicate target heights and angles across shooting positions.
Key Features & Specs
Compatibility: Standard IDPA silhouettes and IPSC/USPSA metric/Classic cardboard; accepts most 1×2 wood uprights (cut to your preferred height).
Base Design: Stable, wide stance with reinforced corners; stake holes or sandbag tie-in points (varies by batch).
Material/Finish: Weather-resistant powder-coated steel or rugged composite; corrosion-resistant, easy to clean.
Upright Pockets: Dual sleeves sized for 1×2s; secure friction fit keeps sticks straight without wobble.
Transport: Flat, stackable base profile for trucks and club trailers.

Note: Product photos may show targets, furring strips, stakes, or sandbags for demonstration. Targets and 1×2 uprights sold separately unless specified by the retailer.
Built for Real-World Training
Competition Stages: Perfect for USPSA/IPSC field courses and IDPA scenarios with consistent target height across multiple positions.
Defensive Drills: Build reliable arrays for bill drills, failure-to-stop, throttle control, and movement without chasing fallen stands.
Classifier & Standards: Square, repeatable placement makes building classifiers and standards courses straightforward.
Club & Range Use: Durable enough for weekly matches and high-round-count practice sessions.
Setup Guide (Quick Start)
Place the Base: Choose a level spot; if windy, position with the long axis aligned to the breeze.
Insert Uprights: Slide two 1×2 furring strips into the pockets; seat fully.
Secure (Optional): Stake the base or add sandbags for maximum stability.
Attach Targets: Staple or tape IDPA/IPSC cardboard to uprights; verify the A/C zone height meets rulebook guidelines.
Angle & Distance: Adjust stand spacing and angles to manage splash from steel and ensure safe backstops.
Range Safety & Best Practices
Always follow IDPA/IPSC/USPSA safety rules and your range SOPs.
Maintain safe angles and distances, especially when mixing steel and paper.
Use appropriate backstops; confirm impact zones before starting a stage.
Stake/sandbag during windy conditions to prevent tip-overs.
Maintenance & Care
Wipe Down: Mud and dust clean off with a damp cloth; avoid harsh acids.
Inspect Hardware: Check welds/pockets for damage after transport; replace bent uprights.
Protect the Finish: Store dry to prolong powder coat life; a quick spray of silicone on pockets can ease stick insertion.
Pro Tips for Match Directors
Pre-Cut 1×2s: Standardize upright lengths (e.g., 5–6 ft) to speed setups and ensure uniform target height.
Color-Code Sticks: Mark classifier, steel, and hardcover arrays for quick stage resets.
Staging: Keep a bin with staples, pasters, target sticks, and spare stands by each bay for efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these stands work with 1×3 uprights?
A: They’re optimized for 1×2 sticks. Some users adapt 1×3 with shims, but 1×2 provides the best fit.
Q: Are stakes included?
A: Typically not. We recommend inexpensive landscaping spikes or tent stakes for windy days.
Q: Can I use them for steel targets?
A: Yes, with appropriate hangers and safe distances/angles. Always follow steel target manufacturer guidelines.
Q: How many stands do I need for a stage?
A: For a basic 8–10 round array, plan on 3–6 stands; complex field courses may require 10+.
