My brother-in-law has a farm in Indiana where we can shoot our handguns. Last time there, it was a pain in the butt going back and forth hanging paper targets on wooden 2x4's that get shot to pieces in no time. I found this Birchwood, 3/8" thick steel, spinning target on Amazon, but the target mounts/sits really low to the ground at 16" to top edge of upper target. The steel target is rated for .44 magnum and has a 6" diameter lower target and a 4" diameter upper target.
I decided to pour a concrete base pad that has two 18" long sections of steel pipe that are cemented in. The target rods slide into the pipe, and that raises the target height to 35", instead of the original 16". Total cost for target and base materials was $50. The concrete base pad weighs in at 50 lbs and is almost 18" long, so it's not going to move/tip.
