The Caldwell CP6 Shepherd's Hook Target Stand eliminates the frustration of flimsy target holders that bend, break, or topple over during range sessions. This heavy-duty steel construction provides a rock-solid platform for paper targets, cardboard backers, and steel plates up to 12 inches wide. The powder-coated black finish resists rust and corrosion even in harsh outdoor conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike lightweight aluminum stands that wobble in wind or collapse under recoil impact, the CP6 features 14-gauge steel construction with a wide base design for maximum stability. The shepherd's hook configuration allows quick target changes without tools or clips. Ground spikes penetrate hard-packed earth and clay ranges where traditional stands fail to anchor properly.
Key Features
- 14-gauge steel construction withstands repeated impacts from rifle rounds
- 48-inch overall height accommodates standard silhouette and bullseye targets
- 12-inch ground spikes provide secure anchoring in various soil conditions
- Powder-coated black finish prevents rust and reduces glare
- Shepherd's hook design holds targets up to 12 inches wide
- Collapsible design breaks down for transport and storage
- Compatible with paper targets, cardboard backers, and lightweight steel plates
Range testing demonstrates the CP6 maintains target position through extended rifle sessions, including high-velocity cartridges that generate significant muzzle blast. The steel construction absorbs bullet fragment impacts without structural damage, making it suitable for precision rifle training, competitive shooting, and tactical drills. Wind resistance remains excellent even with large target faces attached.
