A Box of Rocks and a Problem Solved

I typically bring target stands with me when I go to the range. During a recent outing, I skipped the stands, knowing the ground would be muddy, opting instead to hang my target on the provided rope. Wouldn't you know it? Before I fired the first, the wind picked up and the target was pushed to a horizontal position.

I thought for a moment, and quickly scrounged a solution. The plastic box from a new magazine, some rocks, and a bit of tape solved the problem. The wind-driven swinging that still occurred simply added to the challenge.

It ain't pretty, but it worked. And the box of rocks has been added my range supplies.
