Target Stand Carrying Bag

Target Stand Portability & Protection

The primary goal of the target stand carrying bag is to provide to customers a convenience. Both hands are usually filled with a combination of: a rifle, targets and backers, ammo, wood furring strips, etc. So why not throw your target stand over your shoulder?

The secondary goal is to protect our customers' investments in their target stands. The bag is resistant to abrasion and tearing and makes the perfect, protective storage device for your steel Target Meister target stands. The bag will keep the beautiful powder coated finish of the stands looking like new for years.

Keep Your Cardboard Backers Dry

The ballistic nylon is backed with polyurethane which waterproofs the material. Therefore, an extra Target Meister bag is also ideal for storing your rollable cardboard backings. We all know that wet, warped cardboard makes for a horrible target backer.

The bag may also be convenient to temporarily store a gun during the occasional sprinkle.

Accessory Pockets

The bag contains two side pockets for storing target stand related accessories, such as target markers, tape, adhesive spray, or staple gun.

The skinny pocket measures 12" x 2-½", which perfectly holds eight 10" spikes. The fat pocket measures 12" x 4-½". These pockets were specially designed to hold a Target Meister staking system. Unfortunately, it is still in beta, but should be available online soon.

Synthetic Style & Exceptional Strength

Target Meister uses only the most cutting-edge materials available to handcraft our target stand carrying bags.

Our fabric of choice is 1680 denier ballistic nylon for its intense, high-tech synthetic style and exceptional strength. The beautiful 2x2 basket weave of ballistic nylon makes it the top choice for rugged applications where durability and abrasion resistance are paramount. Additionally, the filamental weave gives ballistic nylon superior tear strength over traditional heavy-duty nylon synthetics, such as Cordura.

Each bag is hand sewn by our expert seamstress, who also took part in the design of the bag. She double-stitches every pocket and seam.

The bag strap is 2" polyester seat belt webbing. This webbing has a hefty 6,000 pound tensile strength rating. It will not shrink, rot, mold, or mildew and contains UV inhibitors to protect it from sunlight decay. Like ballistic nylon, it is also very abrasion resistant.

Ballistic Nylon: A Brief History

It was conceived as an early form of body armor (flak jackets) for protecting U.S. servicemen from shrapnel and other indirect, low-velocity projectiles in war zones. Today it is used in demanding applications where ultra-durable fabric is compulsory, such as high-end luggage, chew-proof K9 beds and horse blankets, indestructible prison mattresses, and skin-on-frame kayaks.

Ballistic Nylon: Durability Testing Using ASTM International Standards

ASTM International publishes some 12,000 standards that are used around the world to improve product quality, enhance safety, facilitate market access and trade, and build consumer confidence.

To measure the durability of 1680 Denier Ballistic Nylon (1680D), CODi compiled test results from three independent testing facilities. These facilities utilized three ASTM standards to test the tensile strength, tear strength, and abrasion resistance of 1680D fabric.

How Durable is 1680D Ballistic Nylon?

• Tensile Strength

  The ASTM D5034 test method determines the breaking-strength of fabric. A breaking-force of 559 inch-pounds was required to tear a 1" x 2" strip of 1680D.

• Tear Strength

  Once fabric is torn, the ASTM D2261 test determines the force required to continue the tear by pulling the tongues of the rip. A pulling force of 88 inch-pounds was required to continue tearing 1680D.

• Abrasion Resistance

  In the ASTM D3884 test method, the fabric is placed between two counter-rotating silicon carbide wheels with 1,000 grams of pressure applied. The 1680D withstands 533 rotational cycles before showing wear.
