Yes, I get to drive out there! It looks like a military range with numbered plywood stands that are for paper targets. In between two sets of targets, there are one inch pipes about 6' long. I drive out to the targets and slide the pipe to the side so I can slip steel target hangers over them. Then I hang the gongs from the hangers.500 yards.
Do you get to drive out to the 500 yard target line to setup targets??
I hope you don't have to carry that bag-o-targets out there!
How do you transport the target frames?
Are they the sawhorse type or a base and upright, or a stake driven into the ground?
Post some pics of your setup...

Here I'm doing some load development on the 100 yard range. You can see the target stands for the 200, 300, 400 and 500 yard ranges to the left. The road in front goes right up to the targets. That's a Colt M-4 with a Vortex 1-6 LPVO on it.
There are actually two steel targets permanently mounted just to the right of the 500 yard range targets, but they are very large 12X20" silhouettes. I use round targets from 4-10".
For hand guns, we have 8 tactical bays which are surrounded by berms so you can shoot left, forward or right. That's where you can use steel targets for handguns. The max distance you can shoot is 50 yards in the tactical bay. I use portable target holders made out of 1" EMT for those.
I have replaced those short hangers with ones that are twice as long after several people hit the EMT. Most pistol calibers won't penetrate it, but you have to beat it back into shape because the hangers won't slide on bent EMT! The setup at 500 yards looks like this except there are brackets attached to the back of the target stands which hold the crosspiece the hangers are attached to.

Here they are in the tactical bay. These are the 1/2" thick rifle targets, we used them for pistol calibers before I bought a better variety of 3/8" targets. The 4 and 6" are on the left and 8 and 10" are on the right. The yellow target is a 4X6" rectangle.
