Office Depot® Binder Clips, 1 1/4", Black, Pack Of 144 (12 Boxes Of 12 Clips)
Item # 825190

1- 2' x 4' piece of cardboard
1- roll of string

Screw 2-12" nipples into tee & then screw in 6" nipple to the right angle joint of the fitting. This will be the foot of target holder.
Assemble the second tee same way.

Bend the 3/8" re-bar 90 degrees at the 3 & 1/2 foot mark from one end. Do the same thing from the other end to form a "U" shape. This should give you about a 2' span between the up rights.

Use the binder clips to hold your cardboard on the four corners and tie the clips to the frame.

Slip the frame into the 6" nipples on the tees.

There you have an easy to assemble portable target stand.
Hope these instructions are easy to under stand...
