DIY target building

[knockonit]

over the years have designed with assistance, built and used many target types, one i have not tried is the ''texas star'', anyone managed to successfully home build a unit, specifically the spring clips ect. my issue is being an old guy and carrying heavy steel, to the range and set up, yeah, yeah, i know brutal punishment from boolits,
so who has , any info will work, and yeah, i've been on the pooter, looking at all kinds of samples.
thanks Rj

The spring clips you can buy from a manufacturer, our club just bought a box to fix up our stars. Just saw a model at a show that used strong magnets to hold the plates. That looks like the way to go. Our stars come apart but still the center section is very heavy. Probably ok for young guys, lol, but to heavy to be moving around much for us oldsters. You could bolt the arms on, so removed that would save some weight. Still the post the center section is attached to is not going to be light.

Why build a Texas star when you can have the polish plate rack?
