My daughter (3) (she has just a little recurve from gander mountain, but it helps her get the right form), and I have been shooting our bows a lot this summer. One of the problems we run into is that our deer target falls over, or when moved I cant get it to stick into the ground due to the rock in our area.
My solution was to buy 3 4' pieces of 1/2 rebar. (I had my car so I couldnt throw a 10' in there which would have been enough).
One 4' piece became the main beam. Then I cut one 4' piece in 1/2 and bent it. (No torch just hammer and post vise). After the legs were bent I cut a 30 degree angle on the legs and welded them in place.
Next I took a 1' piece for the upright leg and a smaller 4'' piece for the back leg. The back leg was a pain due to the angle. after I tacked it on I noticed the magnet slid and i had to hammer it off and redo it.
But it works great and it was easy to build.
