I see where another member wants to create a folding target on an easel. I hope it works.
This target that I documented in the earlier posts simply required more and more stability.....though it is perhaps a double sized target, at two feet by four feet.
Anyhow, this is the final form....and this is what it took be become stable, and movable.....so I dunno about becoming foldable...maybe at half size.
I am happy with this. Fits away nicely in the garage and now needs no stabilizing tie downs.

FIRST VERSION....STABALIZER TOO SMALL. WHEN RELEASED FROM TIE DOWNS THE ENTIRE 85 POUNDS WOULD TRY TO COME DOWN ON ME.

Do you have instructions anywhere on how to make the stand you mounted the target on? It looks awesome! :) :thumbup:

Nice target! I'd be inclined to have the wheels/supports *behind* the target rather than in front. This would increase stability w.r.t frontal impact.
