Show your targets! What do you use?

I use 1gal. milk jugs full of water for ballistic testing.

How did you do sighting in your muzzleloader?
As for a bigger target , sometimes we shoot at the primed end of a loaded shot shell and try to touch it off with a round ball hit!

Andy, I did that "ONCE" with a BB gun and the primer hit the wall behind me.

Yikes!
Last time I did that was with a found .357 round at the local gravel pit.
Hit the primer , shell went off , big smiles all around!

Target stand

Here's my target frame. For around twenty bucks (IIRC) I made two. With the exception of the two stubs, made from leftovers of cutting the 1 1/2" PVC into 19" sections. Fits a 23" wide target and/or cardboard perfectly. Nothing is glued together; it all gets transported disassembled. The wood is 1x2 lathe. Break the corners and they should be a tight fit into the stubs. I bought a 20 foot piece of the PVC pipe, cut it in two at my car so it would fit, and the rough cut ends became my stubs the lathe fit into.

I made a sandwich board long ago. A couple pieces of 2x4 or 2x2 and a chunk of a sheet of osb. Maybe $20
It's flat but bulky and I don't need it 2'x3' .
So I'm going to make one like carlmc shows.
Probably just st wood legs and base though

Those are great but I like the idea of taking them apart so they lay flat

I've got a big truck to haul them, although you have inspired me to find out how I can do it....
By Jove, I thinkI've got it!!!!
I'll remove one screw on each side & loosen the other so the target portion reclines into the base.... thanks Amigo. no sweat!!!
