Not trying to rain on your parade, but glad to have helped you to think about something I'd not taken into account myself before it became a problem.
All of the MDC ranges around here now, have recently gone through or are going through the process of getting updated. They are providing movable target stands on the pistol side of the updated ranges that can be set at like 7 and 15 yards in addition to the fixed 25 yard backstop.
A good idea but they've not yet installed anything to accept the base of the stands that is a permanent fixture in the ground so getting one to stand up on dry ground is problematic. I'm sure they'll figure it out and remedy the situation eventually. That is if they can keep the nitwits from shooting up the legs of the stands for fun. You have to wonder what goes through some people's minds.
A neighborly wave to your brother in law.
