TAC-ONE – Heavy-Duty - Tactical Paper Target Stand
Portable, Adjustable, and Built for Stability in All Conditions
The TAC-ONE is a heavy-duty tactical target stand designed for high-wind stability, adjustable target mounting, and rapid deployment. This bolt-together system provides a robust, portable solution for IPSC, 3-Gun, ISSF, and Police & Service Match targets, offering unmatched versatility for competition, training, and general range use. Unlike the TAC-TWO Compact, which features a slide-lock together assembly, the TAC-ONE is engineered for superior sturdiness and adaptability, making it ideal for highly elevated target shooting scenarios while offering wind resistance for a stable mounted paper target.
Key Features:
✔ Heavy-Duty H-Frame Base – Durable mild steel construction (4mm thick) ensures stability in high winds and on uneven terrain
✔ Rapid Knob Bolt Assembly – Legs attach via hand-tightened knob bolts, allowing for tool-free setup and takedown
✔ Ergonomic Carry Handle – Integrated into the centre crossbar for easy transport, even when fully assembled
✔ Adjustable Target Positioning:
- Slide-Adjustable Timber Post Mounts – Knob-tightened housings allow for narrower or wider target widths, accommodating different target profiles with the ability to rapidly switch between widths and target types via the adjustment option.
-
Forward/backward angle adjustment for adapting to uneven ground or preference
✔ Compatible with Standard 41x19mm Timber Posts – Mounts IPSC, USPSA, 3-Gun, and Police & Service Match targets at customizable heights
✔ Low-Profile Yet Elevated Design – Base remains partially off the ground, ensuring stability while minimizing footprint
✔ Crossbar Stability Anchors – Legs lean inward for maximum balance, and optional 300mm nail pegs (sold separately) can be used for additional ground anchoring
✔ Weather-Resistant Finish – All steel components are black powder-coated, and zinc-plated hardware provides corrosion resistance
Customizable Target Mounting Options:
- 41x19mm Timber Posts (Sold Separately) – Supports various paper and cardboard targets, with fully adjustable height, depending on timber length.
- Slide-Adjustable Timber Post Mounts – Knob-tightened housings allow for narrower or wider target widths, accommodating different target profiles with the ability to rapidly switch between widths and target types via the adjustment option. "No more lifting the target and base via the timber posts, only to have them pull free and the setup fall apart. Our slide-lock adjusters clamp the timber securely in place, creating a solid, unified system that’s easy to relocate around the shooting range."
-
Core-Flute & Cardboard Backers Available – Can be mounted at any elevated position on the 41x19mm timber posts to accommodate self-adhesive targets or multiple target types on the same backer or single stand. Backers can be attached using a staple gun or large binder clips:
- Binder clips allow for easy mounting and removal by clipping/clamping the backer or target in place. However, they can take damage if hit by projectiles and will need spare replacements on hand
- Staples provide a secure hold with minimal visual distraction, making them a preferred option for clean target presentation. However, staples require a staple remover for easy target replacement, and leftover staples can present a hazard if not removed properly
Why Choose the TAC-ONE Over Other Stands?
✔ Stronger & More Stable Than the TAC-TWO Compact – Designed for taller target setups in high-wind environments
✔ Quicker to Deploy from a Disassembled State Compared to the Fixed H-Stand – The TAC-ONE requires no tools for assembly, making setup faster from a packed-down state. The standard H-Stand is faster to deploy if already assembled, but it requires tools for breakdown and reassembly
✔ Highly Portable – Packs down into a compact rectangular formation, making it easy to carry and store
✔ Ideal for Range & Recreational Shooting – Suitable for competition, target practice, and hunting preparation
