The Static Steel Target Stands give you three ways to build a stable Shoot Steel static target setup. Choose the T-Post Static Target Stand, 2x4 Static Target Stand or Heavy Duty 2x4 Static Target Stand based on your range conditions, target size and preferred support system. Each configuration is designed to work with Shoot Steel static target hangers and provides a consistent base for steel target practice.
The stands are built from steel and zinc-plated for weather resistance. The Heavy Duty 2x4 version uses 1/4" steel legs and a wider, reinforced design for larger or heavier target setups. All three configurations use 1/2" hardware where applicable and are manufactured in the United States.
For more information on choosing a setup, see Reactive vs. Static Steel Targets, browse additional target stands and hangers or review the Shoot Steel guide on how to choose steel shooting targets.
Choose Your Configuration

- Heavy Duty 2x4 Static Target Stand: Uses a reinforced, wider base with 1/4" steel legs for larger or heavier static target setups.

Safety and Usage
Minimum shooting distance and caliber compatibility are determined by the target plate used with the stand. Follow the ammunition, caliber and distance requirements for the specific Shoot Steel target installed on the system.
Inspect the stand, hanger, hardware, support post or lumber and target before every session. Replace any component showing cracking, deformation or structural wear. Make sure the stand is stable on the terrain and secure it appropriately when conditions require additional support. Always use quality eye and ear protection.
FAQs
Which Static Steel Target Stand should I choose?
Choose the T-Post Static Target Stand if you want a portable setup using a standard T-post. Choose the 2x4 Static Target Stand for a standard 2x4-based setup. Choose the Heavy Duty 2x4 Static Target Stand when you need the wider reinforced base for a larger or heavier target setup.
