Ultimate Shotmarker Target Stand

There are several threads on building portable stands for the Shotmarker and I have read them all. Has anyone built what they feel is the ultimate Shotmarker target stand? I have got to build one and would appreciate your input.
Thanks
 
Here are a couple ShotMaker Frame videos by Forum Member F Class John.

Apparently one important issue to resolve is size. Bigger is better (for resolution and sensor protection). But a smaller target frame will be more transportable. John made a hinged wood frame -- pretty clever.

Thanks. I will watch this.
 
Can't help you with a sample but one thing I notice is that you did not state distance. We use a 3'-square frame for 600 yards but much bigger for 1,000, trying to keep the sensors from getting shot.
 
I'm not going to claim it's the "ultimate" one, but it's single man portable, rock solid, takes down if you wanted to fit it in a car, and works out to 1,000. (Out of an abundance of caution, I'll get zeroed on a rock or steel plate before I send rounds down range at 600+)

Full size 300 yard F-Class target on there. It'll fit a 1,000 yard repair center with about ~4" on all sides.

For portability, I used 1¼" pvc. It breaks into 6 sections that got neatly in the truck bed. Frame takes 4x4 sheets of cardboard and it folds in half.

old thread, but what i came up with recently. I have a place to store it at the range, so i leave the pucks and wires on it. slotted top and bottom cross piece, and each yard target slides in. index on center line. I duct tape the back to help prolong life. when it gets windy, i can put 3 screws top and bottom, pinches the slot together and it cant blow out. no wires at top where most errant shots would go, sensor hub in the corner where its safer.
