Anyone have good ways to make your own testers? Or is it better to just buy them?

Thanks

The cheapest way to make a spin tester is a shoe box just cut a V in each end.

I made my own from stuff a neighbour gave me and when Image Station comes back up I will post the pics.

I just bought a spin tester from Cabelas for $30.00. I don' t know why, I usually make most all my stuff. I guess I was just lazy at the time[:' (]. In 31 years of bowhunting, I' ve never bought a tree stand and always make my own. I still have the first one I ever made back in 1974. Ausie, you still coming up to Nebraska to hunt this month????

As far as a paper tuner.....I took a big cardboard box - fold the flaps in on the one side. On the other side - I take a knife and cut out a square. Now tape your paper and shoot through. I placed mine on a chair and then shot from my knees so that I was shooting level at the paper.

Well things are a little tight here at the moment since I was laid off.
I have had to cancel the trip but hopefully I will be there soon.

Of all things that usually happen after you get laid off and with no job prospects any time soon.
I was offered a year long lease for $800.00 a year where my guests and I would be the only ones hunting the property AAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH why couldn' t he have offered me the place before I got laid off.
Altho he did say if I dont lease it then he would not lease it to anyone else.
I have been there and it has great deer and lots of them plus feral hogs oh talk about a hunters heaven.
I think I will go and slash my wrists[:' (]

I made my paper tune holder out of PVC pipe glued together to form a frame and my spin tester out of some kinda rollers I found at Wal Mart in the hardware section- they work great only about a buck apiece per roller. They are about an inch or so long and have two round wheels attached _ i think there made for doors or something- bought two sets mounted them to a board and top quality spin tester for 2 dollars & 12cent tax

My paper tuner consists of a 5 ft step ladder. I tape a piece of paper to one of the steps, clip a vice grip to the bottom of the paper to keep it taunt and just let the vice grip dangle. Then just step back, squat a little and shoot through the paper. Works great!

Sorry to hear you won' t be coming up to hunt, Ausie Are you sure there arn' t any openings at the local male stripper clubs Tips could add up very fast and before you know it, you could buy that property

Worked in one of those for 10 minutes last week and as soon as I started my show the place cleared like as if the house was on fire[]

I have the lease thing under control I called 3 of my closest friends and offered them a spot which they took.
I also laid down some tough ground rules as this is going to be a long term lease.

My wife is going to check where she works she said they where always looking for security guards
