I figured less chance of them getting shot and they still hold the 1"x2" vertical with no problems... the concrete is taking awhile to set up but its on its way.... Including the Quickcrete I have about $25 in it...

Mine looks almost like that. I put tees where your risers are and inserted a crossbar to keep the bottom supports from trying to spread out.

Copy on that, thanks for the heads up

Not trying to hijack, just show an alternate design.

I don't have one with me, but I built a similar holder out of (2) 4x4s and (2) 2x4s. I stapled a standard IDPA cardboad target on 2 furring strips so I could space the little inside wood pieces accordingly.
