Some more pics.
Took some more after I got home. The target is detachable, replaceable, and can be hung at any height.

I hope that works for you.  I have one of those shooting trees with the targets that are supposed to flip to the other side when you shoot them.  Supposed to be good for up to 06 but my 06 put holes through it.  Even the .223 was making dents.  On the bright side it did spin the targets for the most part.  One of them was apparently a little tighter than the rest and it is now slightly bent
