I've put together some plans for a target stand, and I thought I might as well share them with the world.
The stand is designed to hold 130cm foam bosses, but there's no reason it can't be adapted for other target types.
It's a pretty decent stand (though I say it myself), better than most of the stands available on the market, and at less than half the price.
Features:
I've built four of these stands so far - they've been extremely sturdy and reliable.

Features:
- Folds completely flat for storage
- No clips, ropes, bolts, catches or anything else. Just open it up and it's ready to use.
- Suitable for indoor or outdoor use - can be built using treated timber if preferred.
- Cheap to build (less than ?20) - constructed from the readily-available timber (63x38 CLS) and a handful of screws and bolts.
- Centre is 1300mm above ground level. Target is angled at precisely 12.5 degrees.
