DIY paper tuner?

[Jacob Chapman]

Looking to build a paper tuner, wondering if anybody has details/specs for what they did?

Found a few online, but $75 for a paper tuner is ridiculous lol

I have made them out of 1x2s to make a frame the size of a sheet of paper and then screwed an arca plate to the bottom to mount to a tripod.

The one I have now is made from PVC and I use painter's masking paper rolls to shoot through. If you search pvc paper tuner there are how too all over the internet.

Simplest thing I did was cut out a carboard box. Clips around it and hang it from the ceiling.

About anything will do

Use some pvc and connectors. SImple, inexpensive and you don't have to glue it together (i.e., takedown for easy storage).

The cardboard box is the cheapest… I’m lazy and use a clip top easel for flip charts. Easy to clip sheets on and rotate as needed

Buy a roll of paper.

Get a broom handle, or larger dowel and cut it in one piece about 1/3 of the other.

Use the longer section of broom handle to put through the roll of paper and suspend from the ceiling, then you pull down on it, fasten clips to the shorter section of handle, clip to the bottom of the paper. Holds it out straight, and weights it.

When not using it, roll it back up. As you shoot up sections, tear/cut them off.


Or just shoot bareshafts and forget about paper tuning.

I use a $18.00 garment rack, a roll of paper, and a few clamps.

It works fine.

shoot into a non directional bale like we did before paper tuning existed, $0
just eyeball it, and bare shaft, $0

Gohunt has a video out on how to make one out of 1” PVC pipe. Very easy to make and can be disassembled.

Other option is to take a left over political sign, cut out the middle and use paper clamps to hold paper to the frame. Hang it in front of the target.

A step ladder and some Christmas wrapping paper is an old trick
