Description

2×4 WOOD BASE KIT

For shooters with a tight budget, we offer our 2×4 base and bracket kits. Steel base and top bracket protected by an AR500 armored circle plate. Choose Top Bracket only or Top Bracket & H Base combo. (2X4 NOT included)

Want to build your own base?  Purchase the top bracket as a standalone and design the rest yourself.

MODULAR BASES

The secret to a good target is an excellent base (yeah, we trademarked that).  We recommend one of our modular armored bases for greatest ease of use, sturdiness, and reliability.  Our uprights pull right out of our H-bases allowing you to lay them flat in your truck, case, or bag and put them back together in seconds without tools.

Want a more permanent option? Pound the upright right into the ground or lay it in with some concrete.  The AR500 plating will protect your armored target base, deflecting thousands of pistol and rifle rounds (seriously, you’ll be handing this thing down to your grandkids).

Want to shave off weight and save time?  Check out our Quick Deploy Base System specific to our QD compatible targets.  Two AR500 QD plates with integrated carrying handles and the ability to accommodate 1″ pipe extension legs to raise this target as high as you need. The pyramid-style base is designed to become more stable the taller you get.

And finally, while we always recommend splurging that little extra for one of our virtually indestructible armored bases, we do offer a “budget friendly” 2×4 base kit for the DIY backyard shooter.

TALL ARMORED BASE (MOST POPULAR)

Standing at 40” tall, this target base will raise your target to a more natural shooting position to promote muscle memory for close quarters training. This base has an armored center post to withstand thousands of rifle and handgun rounds.

FULLY ARMORED RANGE BASE

This target base is armored from top to bottom. Great protection for long range rifle, commercial ranges, rental targets, and FULL AUTO. No stray bullets will be punching holes in this base. 30″ tall.

ARMORED BASE

This base has a low-profile armored center post that withstands every kind of abuse while keeping a lower, more solid center of gravity for your heavier and/or taller targets. The Armored Base also puts our Rubber Dummy and Paper Bracket targets at the correct height. 30” tall.

2X4 WOOD BASE KIT

For shooters with a tight budget, we offer our 2×4 base and bracket kits. Steel base and top bracket protected by an AR500 armored circle plate. Choose Top Bracket only or Top Bracket & H Base combo. (2X4 NOT included)

QUICK DEPLOY BASE

The Quick Deploy Base System is made of two AR500 plates with integrated carry handles. The plates can work stand-alone, or they can accommodate 1" pipe leg extensions. Simple, fast, and virtually indestructible. Designed specifically for our QD compatible targets.

STANDARD NON-ARMORED BASE

Intended for use with our Axe Block Throwing Target, the Standard non-armored Base leaves behind much of our rugged armor plating to lower your cost. 43" tall.

SHORTIE ANIMAL TARGET BASE

Designed specifically for our reactive silhouette animal targets, the Armored Shortie Base is rifle rated and is designed to place your animal target at the appropriate height level with the ground. 12" tall.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in the Mr. Target 2×4 Wood Base Kit?

The Mr. Target 2×4 Wood Base Kit is constructed with a steel base and top bracket, both protected by an AR500 armored circle plate. This design ensures that the base can withstand thousands of rounds from both pistols and rifles, making it a durable choice for long-term use. The AR500 plating is specifically chosen for its ability to deflect bullets, providing longevity and safety during shooting practice.

How does the modular design of the 2×4 Wood Base Kit enhance its usability?

The modular design of the 2×4 Wood Base Kit allows for easy transportation and setup. The uprights can be removed from the H-bases, enabling you to lay them flat for transport in a truck or bag. This feature is particularly useful for shooters who need to set up and break down their range quickly. Additionally, the modularity allows for customization, as you can choose to purchase just the top bracket and design the rest of the base yourself.

Is the 2×4 Wood Base Kit suitable for both temporary and permanent installations?

Yes, the 2×4 Wood Base Kit is versatile enough for both temporary and permanent installations. For temporary setups, the base's modular components allow for quick assembly and disassembly. For a more permanent installation, the upright can be pounded into the ground or set in concrete, providing a stable and long-lasting target stand. This flexibility makes it ideal for various shooting environments.

What are the benefits of using AR500 armored plating in the target base?

AR500 armored plating is used in the target base for its exceptional durability and ability to deflect bullets. This material is known for its resistance to wear and impact, making it perfect for shooting targets that need to endure repeated hits. The use of AR500 ensures that the base can handle thousands of rounds without compromising its integrity, providing a reliable and safe shooting experience.

Can the 2×4 Wood Base Kit be used with different types of targets?

The 2×4 Wood Base Kit is designed to be compatible with a variety of target types. While it does not include a 2×4, the top bracket can accommodate any standard 2×4 wood piece, allowing you to mount different targets such as paper, rubber, or steel. This adaptability makes it a versatile choice for shooters looking to practice with multiple target styles.

How does the Quick Deploy Base System differ from the 2×4 Wood Base Kit?

The Quick Deploy Base System is designed for rapid setup and portability, featuring two AR500 plates with integrated carry handles. Unlike the 2×4 Wood Base Kit, it can accommodate 1" pipe leg extensions to raise the target height. This system is ideal for shooters who need to quickly set up and take down their targets, offering a more mobile solution compared to the more permanent 2×4 Wood Base Kit.

What are the tradeoffs of using a budget-friendly target base like the 2×4 Wood Base Kit?

Opting for a budget-friendly target base like the 2×4 Wood Base Kit involves some tradeoffs in terms of durability and customization. While it offers a cost-effective solution for backyard shooting, it requires the user to supply their own 2×4 wood piece, which may not be as durable as the steel components. Additionally, the lack of integrated features like adjustable height or portability seen in more expensive models may limit its versatility in certain shooting scenarios.

How can the 2×4 Wood Base Kit be integrated into a comprehensive shooting setup?

The 2×4 Wood Base Kit can be an integral part of a comprehensive shooting setup by serving as a reliable and sturdy base for various target types. Its modularity allows it to be easily transported and set up alongside other shooting accessories. For those looking to expand their range capabilities, integrating this base with advanced optics or tactical gear can enhance training effectiveness. Explore our Security: Training & Targets collection for more options.

What considerations should be made when choosing between the 2×4 Wood Base Kit and other target bases?

When selecting between the 2×4 Wood Base Kit and other target bases, consider factors such as budget, durability, and intended use. The 2×4 Wood Base Kit is a cost-effective option for casual shooters or those who prefer a DIY approach. However, if you require a base with more features like height adjustment or portability, you might explore other options. For a more robust setup, consider our Armored Steel Targets collection.

How does the 2×4 Wood Base Kit contribute to safe shooting practices?

The 2×4 Wood Base Kit contributes to safe shooting practices by providing a stable and secure foundation for targets. The use of AR500 armored plating helps to deflect bullets safely, reducing the risk of ricochets. Additionally, the modular design allows users to position targets at appropriate heights and distances, ensuring a controlled shooting environment. This setup is particularly beneficial for training scenarios where safety is paramount.
