I actually just used a 10' step ladder. Just stand the ladder (with the legs spread of course) and hang the paper between the 2 sides.

I just use a box (my 3d target box works great). Cut out a window less then the size of the paper on the front, and one large window on the back. Tape up the paper and you are good to go.

I got a thin piece of plywood scrap about 24" x 24".
Cut a square window in the middle.
Snagged a whole box of used continuous printer paper from the garbage atwork.

I hang 2 pieces of paper, still attached to each other, vertically over the window, and secure it to the wood with 4 spring loaded clamps.
The whole contraption is hung in my basement with 1x2s from the ceiling joists.
Only takes about 30 seconds to change paper.
A roll of paper might be better since sometimes the perforation in the middle tears and I have to start over, but hey, you can't beat the price.

Very cheap, and works fine in my basement.
Then I found out how much more valuable bare shaft tuning is. [:@]
But paper is still a good way to get a decent starting point.

You want cheap? I just pound 2 stake's into the ground outside the target and then staple the paper across in front of the target ,it cost me nothing other than the cost of paper .Sure you can biuld one from PVC and have it for ever ,but then you'll need to store it .For the amount of time's that I use one 2 stake's into the ground will do the job just as easily.

I took an old broom handle and cut it down to about 18". Then I slid that through a roll of paper from home depot and hung it in my garage using 2 eye hooks and some old wire. I then put an old folding table underneath it and unrolled paper until it was on the table top. I got a nice rock from outside to use as a paperweight to keep the paper snug. Works well when I need it and all it cost me was paper and 15min of free time.
