Often, these are placed in front of hills, dirt mounds or other natural or man-made barriers for serving as a backstop to arrest the motion of the bullet. Use of a solid structure to hold the target could cause ricochets, which is not desirable. There exists a need for a portable, lightweight, economical and disposable target holder that wi...
