At my range, they recently allowed us to start using reactive targets such as plastic bottles (milk jugs, water bottles, etc.) and clay pigeons, but I really dislike setting them on the ground as it increases the angle of deflection for ricochets. I'd rather have them on a shelf of some sort, so that the backstop catches the round properly. The stands available at my range, however, are just the standard wooden base with a couple of wooden stakes for stapling cardboard and paper targets.
Does anyone use a flat-top target stand that's either very portable or easy to set up and take down (or both) that would be suitable for this purpose? Maybe an idea that would integrate nicely with the range's existing target stands? Alternatively, maybe an easy and convenient way to do the same thing, but hang the bottles underneath the stand.
