The May/June issue of American Handgunner has an article on building a stand using PVC pipe.

If you have one, I recyled an old live Christmas tree stand as a base. I used triangular pieces of ply wood with a couple of old 2x4 scraps to support on the sides. It has a couple of holes in it and won't hold water anymore, bit then it was on the way to the dump anyway.

Last season I used political campaign signs - just make sure you get permission. All I had to do was volunteer to collect 200 or so after the voting, and they let me keep 20 ... and I told them what I was going to do with them. I just flip the cardboard over so nobody gets the wrong idea.

You can put them anywhere cause they just poke into the ground, and you can staple targets over them.
