I see them all the time in in with the fencing supplies. Manager here says that the company won't pick them up unless there is a full semi load palleted and shrink wrapped. She told me to take all of them if I wanted. Didn't need 300 of them! Other family members have done the same at other locations.

Thanks for the recommendation, I just bought a 4’x6’ section of 3/4” horse mat. How did you hang it vertically? It’s pretty damn heavy as is.

I sandwiched it between a couple 2x10's and put a bunch of wood screws right through the meat of the "sandwich." Then I bolted the whole thing to a couple wooden posts I set in concrete footers. Thing is rock-solid.
Cannot post pics but stacked 4 x4's 4' long against posts. Made two wings out the ends w/4 x 4's also on a 45 deg angle. Fill w/sand and shoot, Never wears out. Its hard to move around though...
How tall vs long. Gravity is pulling sand so u gotta have correct face to back distance to keep sand in check?
Back is 4' but sand is only about 3'. It wants to leech ahead but I just shovel it up once in awhile. Just drove t-posts in behind and one at each front corner.
An even easier method is to stack 4 x 4s or cut small logs and stack into a V- shape on the ground and shovel sand into it. When I have kids shoots, I hang a sheet of rubber roofing across above my pit for those errant arrows.
If You Want To Give Me a No. I'll Txt You a Pic But I'm Sure You Can Improve on Mine.
Seen some photos on the internet....I got a general idea.... thanks.
Here it is. I actually did two side by side and I hang the bag target from the braces on both posts.

If you took those today, it looks like you missed the bad parts of last night.
Praise the Lord, we did. The worst of it was about 20 minutes north of us, but we made it out scot-free.
A couple notes:
(1) Sorry the photos uploaded with rotation--don't know what happened there.
(2) If I was doing it again, I would cut the posts down to a level height and set the 2x10's on top instead of using the L-bracket so it wouldn't be pulled forward. This design is fine, but I think that would be better.
