DIY paper tuner?

Probably not significant, but- does it matter how thick or thin the paper is?

I’ve set up a DIY paper tuner using some newspaper thickness blank paper. It tears so easily it can be hard to read.

I suspect the wax paper (as mentioned) might be a better option.

I like a little thicker paper. I use targets if I find them at the shops lightly used.

Another vote for just bareshafting, accomplishes the same thing and is actually way more precise.

Get a box and cut a whole on each side. You can staple the paper up. It is simple and when done throw it away.

Bare shaft tune it.

Hey Guys, I realize I’m resurrecting this, but just came across this thread and wanted to throw another idea out there, actually similar to what some others had mentioned here. Super effective and inexpensive. I put together an easy DIY downloadable paper tuner with instructions. Would appreciate your support, even if you’d be willing to simply share it out! More tuning products in work too. If you have any feedback or questions on it feel free to DM me. Thank you in advance!

I did exactly this for years. I mimicked a paper tuner so easily with some carboard, staples, clips, an old arrow and paracord. Took a whopping 10 minutes and $10 I'd guess mostly the roll of paper.

Wax paper is the best. Nothing else will show up and be as easy to read/see arrow holes. Try it once.

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

Lots of great ideas here. I used an old picture frame

Many ideas with the old picture frame as a very good one. I bought one of these off of Amazon ($19) and you can buy refills if you choose or just use regular paper. I put it on a chair initially but now, I hang it off the ceiling.

OK. Buy a roll of wax paper at the grocery store. Take it out of the box, step on it to flatten it. Hang in basement in front of a target bag . I used a clothes hanger that I untwisted and bent to a U shape with a flat bottom. Flattening the roll keeps the paper from unrolling when you shoot thru it. I clip a broken arrow shaft to the bottom with two spring clamps for woodworking. Shoot through it and enjoy easy to see paper tears.

Here are pics. $6 for a roll of wax paper at the grocery store ,one hanger and a couple wood screws.
