I posted this over on Enos. I thought some here might like to see.

Smitty, that's a slick set-up.
Those same cardboard cut-outs of poppers and plates work for me with live fire at the practice range on 1x2 stands. White tape patches can be used to get a lot of practice on one set of plates/poppers. The white side of the USPSA metric targets is what I use.
Beats carrying a 100 lbs of steel! ;)

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the link Smitty79.

Impressive. I will probably borrow some of your ideas for my routine.

Nice setup. I use the 1/3 scale targets from Stoeger's Pro Shop and have them thumb tacked to the walls and cabinets in my upstairs bonus room and the adjoining hallways. The longest distance I can get is 28', so that roughly translates into 28 yds using the 1/3 scale targets.
Using the arrangement of the doorways, walls, 90 deg corners etc... I basically have a few options for setting up different drills and try to use those in conjunction with the dry-fire drills in Stoeger's books. I need to paint one wall a different color so the poppers and plates stand out better. For now I just have them up against colored xerox paper.

Great idea. Very productive, I imagine.

Next step, barriers, barricades and something with a 4ft port.
-
Get a target stand, two 1x2" lathes 5' tall and two metric targets. Staple them one above the other for a make shift bianchi barricade, and/or cut a hole in it to create a port. Light weight and portable.

Great idea, thanks

Here is a poor picture of the one's I made and use every week at practice. I have 6-7 stands, and make" Plates and Poppers" made from the white side of USPSA metric targets. The 1x2 stands are separate from and hold the two upright target holders. I use 4 TWO Inch office clips to hold the targets in place.
