Birchwood Casey Metal Folding Target Stand 20" Wide

The Birchwood Casey Metal Folding Target Stand 20" Wide is a portable shooting accessory built for range sessions, practice days, and field setups where you need a stable platform that travels light. Whether you're running drills at your home range, setting up steel targets for group outings, or moving between shooting locations, this stand collapses for easy transport and storage—no more hauling a bulky frame to and from the truck bed.

The 20-inch width accepts standard wood uprights (2x4, 2x2, 1x2, or plywood) held firmly in place by a vise-like clamping system with an included eye bolt. This modular approach means you can build your target setup to match your needs: swap uprights, adjust height, or reconfigure for different target sizes without replacing the stand itself. The hinged support bracket folds the legs inward, cutting storage footprint dramatically compared to fixed frames.

Built from powder-coated metal, the stand resists rust and handles repeated use at the range. Four stake holes along the base let you anchor the stand securely into soft ground or sand, critical on windy days or when shooting sustained strings. Unlike lighter portable stands, this frame sits solid once planted, giving you confidence in your target placement downrange.

Note: The stand does not include wooden posts. Birchwood Casey recommends 1x2x6' posts for target support, though you can adapt to your preferred uprights. You'll source those separately based on your target size and setup—part of the flexibility that makes this stand work across different shooting scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wooden posts should I use with this target stand?

Birchwood Casey recommends 1x2x6' wooden posts for supporting your targets. The stand's vise-like clamping system accommodates 2x4, 2x2, 1x2, or plywood uprights, so you can choose based on your target size and desired height.

Does the stand come with wooden uprights?

No. The stand frame, clamping system, and eye bolt are included, but you'll need to source your own wood posts separately. This modular design lets you customize upright size and target height to your shooting setup.

Can I use this stand in windy conditions?

Yes. Four stake holes built into the base allow you to anchor the stand securely into the ground, which stabilizes the frame in windy conditions. Drive stakes through the holes and into soft ground or sand for a solid, stationary platform.

How easy is it to fold and transport this stand?

The hinged support bracket and collapsible legs fold the stand into a compact size suitable for truck storage, truck beds, or trailers. Once folded, the frame is much more portable than fixed target stands, making it practical for range visits or mobile shooting setups.
