Description
The Birchwood Casey 49018 is one of those no-nonsense range accessories that just works. Built from heavy-duty metal, the base adjusts anywhere from 13 inches up to 25 inches wide, which means you can run everything from a standard paper bullseye to a wide cardboard silhouette without needing a different setup for each. You supply a pair of 1" x 2" wood stakes to hold your target up, and you're in business.
Why the 49018 Earns a Spot in Your Range Bag
The whole design is built around portability. It collapses down flat, weighs right around ten pounds, and moves easily from the truck to the firing line. Folks who shoot regularly tend to grab two or three of these because they're simple to store and quick to deploy. The base has four ground stake holes, so once you've got it positioned you can pin it down and keep it steady. A common tip from experienced users is to drop a tent stake or two through those holes when the wind picks up, since a lighter stand can catch a gust otherwise.
Setting Up the Adjustable Width Target Stand
Slide two 1" x 2" wood strips into the uprights, staple or clip your target on, and set the base to whatever width matches your target. That's really the whole process. The 1×2 boards drop right in without any fuss, and the adjustable base gives you flexibility to match narrow or wide targets. It's a favorite for 4-H and CMP programs, backyard plinking sessions, and general practice at the local range.
For anyone building out a practice setup, this stand hits the sweet spot of tough construction and easy hauling. Add your own stakes and targets, and you've got a dependable platform that'll hold up shot after shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Birchwood Casey 49018 target stand come with the wood stakes?
No, the wood uprights are not included. You'll need to supply two 1" x 2" wood stakes to hold your target. These are cheap and easy to find at any hardware store, and they slide right into the stand's uprights.
What size targets will the adjustable width target stand hold?
The base adjusts from 13 inches all the way up to 25 inches wide, so it handles most common paper and cardboard targets. That range covers standard bullseyes, sight-in targets, and wider silhouettes. Just set the width to match whatever you're shooting that day.
Will the 49018 stand hold up in windy conditions?
It has four ground stake holes in the base so you can pin it down. On breezy days, a good tip is to run a tent stake or two through those holes to keep it anchored, since a lighter stand can catch the wind if it's just sitting on the ground.
Is this target stand easy to transport?
Yes, portability is one of its strong points. It weighs about ten pounds and collapses down flat, so it's simple to toss in a truck bed or range bag. Many shooters pick up more than one because they store and set up so easily.
