And PVC T’s and elbows are $4-$5 each at Home Depot ($24-$30 in total for the described build), before even counting the straight sections.

There are numerous inexpensive ($30ish), collapsable, metal target stands available that use lumberyard-common 1x2s – just search “target stands” on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=target+stands&i=sporting&crid=2X1F00UL3JHDO&sprefix=target+stands%2Csporting%2C136&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 ).

Uline and others offer 24×36 double-wall cardboard for about $3 each (plus shipping), or corrugated plastic sheets for $7.50 each (plus shipping) – see, respectively, https://www.uline.com/BL_1855/Heavy-Duty-Corrugated-Pads and https://www.uline.com/BL_1854/Plastic-Corrugated-Pads?pricode=WK694&AdKeyword=24×36%20corrugated%20plastic&AdMatchtype=e&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7ZO0BhDYARIsAFttkCi7RgyHGGTlszGNOihg7B3D-uN1bjEmbPWBR0nm0g9_UtxFXtfwZgsaAuuaEALw_wcB

And, if you get wind where you shoot, consider getting some ground stakes, such as https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ground+stakes&i=sporting&crid=3DN8RDL13E1NP&sprefix=ground+stakes%2Csporting%2C140&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 Make sure they have something to grab onto to help when extracting. Take along a small sledge/club hammer (for insertion) and a utility or framing hammer (for extraction).
