Looks good Will! Another idea that I saw for this was a guy who built one using a wood picture frame. He screwed a piece on the bottom of the frame that would attach to a tripod, which made for easy storage and setup. Think I\'m going to have to make one of these eventually... :think:
Nice shooting Will. Nice tuner too.
I built one from 1\" box tubing similar. I used 3/4\" conduit for the bars that held the paper. I held the conduit to the vertical box tubing with U shaped conduit clamps. I used a roll of paper for masking things when painting. I have a crank on one roll so I can just turn it a few cranks to get fresh paper.

Thanks guys! I made it to fit freezer paper (18\") so the horizontal lengths are about 20\" of 1.5\" pvc. I simply held my bow up to decide how high to center the height. The vertical frame is 24\" and I made the legs to put that right in the center of my aiming point. Brad and John, y\'all are welcome to come over and shoot any time or borrow it as it comes apart in a flash.

fantastic.
i kid you not. i\'m almost to embarrassed to even mention this. this is what i used as my paper tuner \"rack\" last time i was in my backyard. i binder clipped them from a tree..low hanging branch.
it worked, but talk about ghetto. thank God it took two shots to get the bullet hole. phew.

Nice setup. I have a paper tuner that uses rolls of freezer paper. It is made from steel and aluminum. My bowhunting buddy made back in the late 80s. He made it for himself but unfortunately he fell out of a treestand in 1991 and was in a coma for months. He is unable to bowhunt or do much of anything anymore. That is obviously off topic but whenever I can remind someone to wear a safety harness, I do for this reason.

Here is what I threw together. I decided to build it this way so I can adjust the height. I can take shots from very close and set the target up high, or I can take shots at a distance with the target on the ground (or on my fisher price archery table 
).
I have a similar problem to Will though, once I figured out you need to leave some space between the target and the paper or the arrow will still be sticking through the paper :lol: It looks like mine isn\'t going to get a bunch of use right now. :upthumb:
