TJ,
I have some metal stands you can have...Then either buy or make some metal plates...I think Wally World sells them for about 40 bucks...I have 100's of targets too.

pre threaded metal gas pipe from HD with fittings to make the stand. Use cheap chain and hooks to hang the iron.

Have you been to Pala shooting range? They have a lot of steel targets and they go out to about 700 or 800 yards.
The plates alone are not enough..I bought a few targets almost a year ago, and they are still sitting in the garage.. you need stands to hang the plates.
In my case the stands need to be light to carry a few hundred yards, they need to seat firmly in uphill-downhill-rocky terrain.
I tried building stands with 2x4s but they were too heavy and bulky to carry them. (200, 300, 400+yrds) you cant always drive to the targets. Not to mention missed shots would destroy the wood.
Then I looked into lightweight metal pipes, but the pipes were too flimsy and did not provide a sturdy stand.... then I looked into construction metal rods and they were pretty pricey to bother.
So the targets I bought are still in my garage....
I use these hangers with some EMT for the legs and cross bar

Me, I'm just fine with PVC frames. 2'x3' with T base legs. I can staple on paper targets or hang 12'' steel discs.
I made one today that is perfect to shoot where ever you would like, if you travel and go out of state it’s easy set up and doesn’t take much space and can be great to double check your rifle on a trip.

It is a blind flange. Yeah I don’t plan on shooting it very close. Have you had a negative experience shooting a blind flange ?
I like the idea of a blind flange. I can get one from work. Agreed shooting close is a bad idea.
besides punching holes the craters are sharp as **** i have some flange targets, got targets out of all kinds of scrap. I try to use them at like 600 yards+ that way they just dent and dont' get big craters. if they do just take the angle grinder and clean them up
I have a laser if everyone wants to go in on some AR500 plate I can cut it. Any shape any size. Mild steel is not a good target IMO, it’s a great way to get cut.
