Target Stands
Q: What wood size do your target stands accept?
A: Our stands are built to accept standard lumber sizes — most commonly 1"x2" and 2"x4" dimensional wood, which you can pick up at any hardware store. Each product listing specifies which wood sizes it accepts. Our adjustable stands handle both 1"x2" and 2"x4" in the same frame.
Q: Can I use your stands outdoors?
A: Yes. Our stands include stake or spike holes so you can anchor them into the ground on outdoor ranges. The heavier models (15–18 lbs) are especially popular with law enforcement ranges and outdoor facilities. Customers report they stay planted even in strong wind.
Q: Are your stands compatible with USPSA and IDPA targets?
A: Yes. Our adjustable stand bases are IPSC and IDPA compatible and are used at matches across the country. The 24" Adjustable Base opens to 35" wide to accommodate full-size competition cardboard targets and backers.
Q: Do you build custom stands?
A: Yes. Our stands are hand-built in the USA, and custom configurations are available for ranges and agencies with specific needs. Call 626-358-4814 to discuss your requirements and we will build to order.
Q: Are your stands stackable for storage?
A: Yes — every stand in our lineup is designed to stack flat, so you can store a large quantity without taking up excessive range room. Stack them in a corner or a rack and they're ready to deploy when you need them.
Products & Compatibility
Q: What size cardboard target fits a USPSA stage?
A: Standard USPSA cardboard targets (the classic A/C/D zone silhouette) measure 18"x30" for the standard IPSC/USPSA target. We carry competition-spec cardboard in multiple sizes and pack quantities. Check our USPSA | IPSC | IDPA Cardboard Targets category for the full selection.
Q: Do you carry NRA official targets?
A: Yes. We carry NRA licensed official targets across multiple disciplines — pistol, rifle, and silhouette — in both individual packs and bulk quantities. Find them in our Pistol & Rifle Paper Training Targets category under NRA Official Targets.
Q: What is the RED DOT Police Training Program?
A: RED DOT is a law enforcement training target program designed for scenario-based and use-of-force decision training. These targets go beyond the standard silhouette, introducing realistic threat cues and situational context to help officers build judgment alongside marksmanship. We are a trusted national supplier of RED DOT program targets.
Q: Do you carry steel targets?
A: Yes. We carry Creusabro 8000 hardened steel gongs, plates, hooks, hangers, and complete steel range setups. AR500 is the standard for steel target shooting — it handles repeated pistol and rifle impacts without cracking or deforming.
Q: Do you carry repair tape and pasters?
A: Yes. We stock target repair tape in tan, black, and white, as well as cardboard pasters in multiple colors including kraft, white, black, and buff. Available individually or in bulk. A roll of 1,000 pasters starts at just $5.00.
