How to Build an Archery Stand

To become a good archer you need practice. Building a homemade, lightweight wood archery stand will not only improve your skills but add convenience to your target acquisition positions. A lightweight stand makes it easy to move to various distances and positions for better target practice.

How to Build a Wooden Target Stand

1. Purchase the following supplies:

• 2 landscaping timbers, 8-feet long


• 1 plywood sheet


• 2"x2"x12' wood board


• Wood screws


• Sturdy wooden easel
  
  
  

1. Cut one timber in half (4-feet) and the remaining timber will be cut at a length of 3-feet.

2. Place each 4-foot piece of timber parallel to each other. Lay the 3-foot piece of timber across the two 4-foot pieces and use wood screws to secure it to the 4-foot timbers. Use wood screws on both sides to make it sturdy.

3. Cut the 2"x2"x12' board in 3-foot sections. Attach each section vertically to the crossbeams with wood screws.

4. Cut the plywood 3-feet by 3-feet. Attach the plywood to each 2" x 2" using wood screws.

5. Attach your paper target using pins to secure.

6. Place your target board on the easel, take aim and shoot!
