Shooting target stand

A shooting target stand for placement on the ground for supporting a generally planar target with outer perimeter edges, the shooting target stand comprising:

• a generally two-dimensional frame comprising:
• a transverse base, having two opposing ends and a bottom base edge for resting on the ground, and
• two elongated target support bars each having an anchor end and an opposing extension end, each support bar being connected at the anchor end to one of the transverse base opposing ends, and each support bar upending from the transverse base coplanar with the transverse base and with the other support bar, and the two target support bars defining a space between them for receiving a target in generally coplanar relationship to the frame,
• attachment means for detachably fastening the edges of the target to the target support bars, and
• a pivotal member pivotally and lockably connected to and extending from the transverse base to contact the ground, for supporting the frame at an adjustable angle relative to the pivotal member and relative to the ground,
• whereby the target stand can hold the target at a variety of angles and does not cross directly in back of the target.
