Finally got the metal and equipment to start making our basic target stands. The stand adjust to different size targets. That model uses 1x2 wood. Working on a heavy duty one also.
We are also working on hog traps, deer stands and blinds. Along with some other outdoor items for shooting and hunting.
I do not know currently the time before they are on Amazon or our store site. IT department has been very slow on that

just a small suggestion before you get caught up in a marketing project to 'name' a product. Just name it what it IS. Nobody is going to search for your super cool code name, they're going to search for "Target Stand". So, call it that.

"Target Stands by Hellquest" would be perfect for example.

Just take all the fun out of it why don't ya?!
 
Just wait and let the Chinese name it. They will copy it and sell it at half the price. :mad:

Bottom line is that if you want people to find you on line, be where they're likely to look. It ain't rocket surgery.

So you’re saying I should sell my items like…where people will buy them?

I was wondering why my closet was still so full of all my inventory
 
So Holstit isn't just an online holster store with some indecisive management? Maybe these need to be sold from a different bit of branding because all the suggestions we made earlier to assist you were relative to you only selling holsters. If Holstit is holsters, Targ-it or Stand-it or Shoot-it could be the other line of business.

Already working on it. We have 32 different businesses under our umbrella currently.
 
How much are the stands?

I bought such a stand from Midway, a few years ago.

Yes, forgot bout them.
I just searched Midway for target stand and very comparable stands are listed from 20 to 33 bucks.

The Amazon stand resemblance to this stand Holstit is designing is uncanny.
Or, maybe it's their product under one of 30 plus businesses he referred to.

Am I the only one that wouldn’t mind paying a bit more and certainly would pay the same for a USA/Carolinas made accessory instead of Chinese crap?
 
It's a super basic design that a lot of businesses do. Ours is a heavier steel and 100% made in America. Even down to boxes and hardware.
We have more designs coming, just needed a basic unit for a starting point with LGS and online
 
You really should put adjustable leveling legs on the back of these. All you'd have to add is a 3/4 nut welded on to the base and then screw some legs with feet in there. Minimal cost addition to manufacture, but a big change in appeal to the customer since most ranges don't have level ground so these stands rock all over in the wind if you don't find rocks and crap to shim the legs with.
 
@Hellquest I'll take a stand. I got 10 acres in Bolivia and been debating target stands. How do I buy one? @Timfoilhat Not sure I agree on the legs. Useful if you're semi level or have firm ground but if it's rough enough (like mine) I'm gonna need a shovel to get it working anyway. I've be more interested in spiked feet like some tripods have.

Spikes could be easily achieved using sharpened bolts in the threaded leveling leg holes.
 
How do I buy one with Spikes?

While others may desire a permanent placement, I'm looking for portability.

The stand on Amazon appears to be 3/16" angle, as does yours.

I don't need spikes and all.


So what's the price and availability?


Some of my range supplies,

I need a 22/45 holster with an optics cut on top and I’ll come pick it all up at the warehouse!

We saw one of the others tragets. They seem to have some odd thin steel. We can't even order it that thin. But most are made over seas also so it might be something else completely

Please note I'm answering a lot of questions and I'm still working. There is no dodging, simply trying to get everything correct before I answer. Price sold be 29.99 unless something changes in material cost. And it will be full available ASAP. My guys are working non stop welding and painting. We have to have a base number to fill our Amazon first also. Then everything else will go to LGS and box stores. So please order on our site once we add the listing or Amazon. Even directly through me. We are also trying to get numbers together for the sites members or special gifts for them.
Once again if I failed to answer something sorry I'm working 7 days a week non stop on this company.
