​Set up:

If you didn’t order the base with the legs, you will need to get 3 pieces of 3/4" electrical conduit, 3/4" black pipe, or 1” square tube to use for the legs. Anything 18-24” will work, longer doesn’t hurt. We use 3/4" IMC electrical conduit, which can be found at most hardware stores and any electrical supply store. We cut them at 22”, which is the minimum needed to be able to set up a 24” wide target.
Starting with the 2x4 part of the base, install the 3 legs into the pockets and tighten down the eyebolts to hold the legs in place. If you are using the base for steel, then you’re ready to insert the 2x4. Insert the 2x4 and tighten the T bolt to secure the 2x4. To make the 2x4 lean less, sometimes a shim on one side or the other is nice, but not a must. When using high energy targets like swingers and flipper paddles, it is recommended to take as much movement out of the 2x4 in the base as possible for the targets to perform as intended.
If you’re using it for a paper or card board target, then install the 1x2 pocket piece on the straight leg and it should be on the same side as the T bolt that is on the 2x4 piece. The T bolt on the 2x4 piece is long enough to go in far enough to hold a piece of 1x2 tight against the opposite side of the base as the other 1x2 pocket.
