That's the one I copied. Makes a very good spine tester and relatively cheap.

I made the uprights out of wood instead of angle brackets. One end is adjustable up and down and back and forth a bit for working with uneven natural shoot shafts and cane.

Good idea Pat I made one and it worked but like ya say natural shoots and cane were a bugger. I bought a fancy Ace model
at Pappy's this year :)
