Description
The NcSTAR Vism Steel Target Stand is one of those pieces of range gear that just does the job without any fuss. It gives you a single base that handles just about any target you want to hang, from a stapled-up paper bullseye to a chunk of heavy steel. You bring the lumber, it holds everything steady, and it packs down flat when you're done for the day.
What makes it flexible is the three-section design across the top. The larger center steel box takes a 2×4 wood post, which is what you want when you're hanging heavier steel plates that need a real anchor. On either side, two smaller box sections each accept a 1×2 furring strip, so you can string up paper or cardboard for pistol drills and sight-in work. Three plastic-knobbed metal bolts thread in to clamp your boards in place, and you can spin them tight by hand.
Why the Vism VATS Stand Holds Up
Stability comes from a pair of steel 2×2 angle iron legs, each running 24 inches long. That wide, low footprint is what keeps things planted when a steel target starts taking hits and swinging. Folks who've run these report the steel feels substantial and the whole stand stays put, which is exactly what you want when you're spending real money on AR500 plates and don't want them face-planting in the dirt.
Setting Up the Steel Target Stand at the Range
Assembly is completely tool-free. The legs bolt onto the center section with carriage bolts and wing nuts, so you thread them by hand and you're shooting within a couple minutes of pulling it out of the truck. When the session's over, it breaks right back down for compact storage and easy hauling. Keep in mind the wood posts and furring strips aren't included, so grab those at the hardware store before your first trip out. Steel targets are sold separately as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Vism Steel Target Stand come with wood posts or targets?
No, the stand ships as the steel frame with its hardware only. You supply your own 2×4 post for steel targets and 1×2 furring strips for paper or cardboard. The steel targets themselves are also sold separately, so plan to pick those up ahead of time.
Do I need any tools to set up the NcSTAR VATS target stand?
None at all. The angle iron legs attach to the center section using carriage bolts and wing nuts that you tighten by hand. It goes together in a couple of minutes and breaks back down just as fast for the drive home.
Can this stand handle heavy steel targets?
Yes, that's what the larger center box section and the 24-inch angle iron legs are built for. Run a 2×4 in the center and the wide leg stance keeps everything stable even when a plate is swinging from hits. Users consistently note the steel feels substantial and holds its ground.
Can I hang paper and steel at the same time?
You can. The three-section top lets you run a 2×4 in the center for steel while the two side sections hold 1×2 strips for paper or cardboard. It's a handy way to mix up drills without swapping stands between strings.
