I like the wax paper roll and picture frame idea. I've only read about paper tuning (like right now), but will set something up with a picture frame and wp roll to try.

Nice job.  I built one awhile back out of some scrap pieces of wood trim.

I'm curious to see some setups that include a holder for the roll of paper.  You can get large rolls of craft paper from places like Michaels or any other craft store.

Just made one myself...
According to the fella that makes my bows you have to stand about 15-20 feet back to let the arrow get out of paradox.  The arrow has to bend to get around the riser unless it is centershot so it needs a bit of distance to recover.

Dang twistedlim, that is a sweet setup.  Very nice, and that is the elusive bullet holes they speak of!!  Looks like she is shootin' way good:)

Butcher paper works well also I hear and you can find some wider rolls of it.

That looks like an awesome set-up. I can't comment on your tuning as I have never been able to get any bow or arrow set up to shoot perfect bullet holes through paper. I do my Tuning according to O.L. Adcock's method of bare shaft planing and then check tuning once in a while by watching my flight with wet feathers and broadheads. Really that's all that matters to me if my broadheads fly good with wet and dry fletching I figure I'm good to go.
