This is one I made for air gun shooting indoors. It is 19" x 18". Seems to me the 3/16" steel plate was 20" square.
A larger size could easily be made for shooting muzzleloaders with thicker steel, of course.
This one handled a .45 cal air rife just fine as well as 1,100fps with a .25 cal. air rifle.
A simple angled sheet of steel of steel held in a frame would work fine for outdoor shooting.
Mine is  box as I needed to collect the fragments. The sheet steel sits on a piece of angle iron, to prevent damaging the floor.
I staple cardboard to the front of the frame then hand targets from the clamps.
My hope is that this gives ideas to you.

I like to participate in all our online matches. I had an opportunity to shoot this one yesterday at a friends farm in Southern i
Illinois.
I shot one target to figure out where to hold. The head is too irregular to pick a spot on. The direction of the light had me needing to hold a bit to the left.
At any rate I was using my .40 Getz barreled squirrel rifle. 50 grains of3f Goex. .395 ball .024 canvas with bear lube.
I shot two targets for score.
I tried to emasculate the one on the left with my first shot. I went outside the black on my 2nd shot on the target on the right.
The wind was variable but not too strong.
I shot the target offhand standing at 50 yards.

Good shooting for 50yrd offhand! Just a little closer to the eye, and you would be with the leaders.
