Frequently Asked
Questions(FAQ's)
-
What size targets will it hold?
Pretty much any size target can be used with the proper configuration.
When the furring
strips are "splayed",
four foot supports will
spread to about 30" to
accommodate larger target
areas. You are only restricted by the size of the cardboard backing you use
unless you are attaching the targets directly to wood uprights.
-
Where can I get
more stakes?
We use 60D-6" spikes
which are somewhat
heavier than what is
available in some areas.
Anything lighter tends
to bend too easily.
Check your local
hardware store. We also sell sandbags. Check order form.
-
Why do LE agencies prefer this type?
Four reasons: 1.) No extra parts, 2.) They are stackable,
3.) Quickly deployed resulting in less man hours spent setting up and more time
practicing., 4.)
Less likely to damage steel components.
-
Why are your stands
less expensive than others like
it?
A couple of reasons: 1.) Since we are the
manufacturers there is
no middle man, hence, no
mark-up. 2.) We don' t add any frills you don't need like powder coating or the
ability to take it apart which adds greatly to manufacturing costs. Besides the
staking holes and the thicker up-rights on the ProRange Model there is nothing
else added besides good design and good manufacturing techniques. Our shop has
an area and equipment set up and dedicated to just making these stands.
-
How strong are your stands?
We make our stands from high quality structural steel and we double weld the main
support joint. They can withstand the weight of 2 grown men and then some
(aluminum models included) We believe they are the sturdiest stands available
today.
-
What is the finish?
After all edges are de-burred, the stands are finished with industrial grade red
oxide primer.
(Grey for aluminum
models)
-
What's the guarantee?
As long as you own
it, the welds are
guaranteed against
breakage. Damage from
abuse or shooting not
included.
-
What is MiG
welding?
It stands for metal inert gas. Inert gases are used to
surround the weld to avoid O²
contamination or oxidation.
-
Why do you paint the
aluminum models?
The Alumastands, when unpainted, are very reflective which result in
distracting sun glints not acceptable by many professionals.
-
How tight are the furring strips in
the uprights?
Furring strips vary a
little. In the aluminum models we use a thicker wall upright and the fit is
snug. In the steel models there is usually 1 to 5 millimeters of fore and
aft play which can be shimmed if desired, though we have never found the need.
The new Pro Range Model features thicker
upright walls for a tighter furring strip fit, if that is what you require.
-
Can I get one custom painted?
Yes. We charge an additional $5.00 per stand for custom colors. Check
optional colors
while ordering.
- What is digital welding?
A new voltage and feed control with infinite settings instead of a 10-20
settings.
Allows more precise 'tweaking' of controls for any given application for
stronger welds.
- Do you make other sizes?
We now manufacture an 18 inch stand for IDPA and IPSC applications.
- Why don't you make larger
models?
Two reasons: 1.) Shipping issues & 2.) The human body on average
is 15-25 inches in wide. Unless you are artillery training it is totally
unnecessary to use target stands that need a capacity of more than 36" which our
stands accommodate with no problem. If a bigger size is needed we can
suggest using the broad side of a barn.
