    That is sweet! I've got 8-12 guys that come out to my place to shoot every wednesday evening during the summer. Might just have to make a few of those up this winter. Very cool!

    I had this saved to make one in the future:


    (2) sticks 1" pipe
    (2) 2 foot lengths of 2" pipe (Home Depot sells them pre cut)
    (6) 90 degree elbows (1" dia)
    (8) Tees (1" dia.)
    (2) 2" couplers
    (2) 2" to 1-3/4" reducers
    (2) 1-3/4" to 1" reducers
    (1) pipe insulation to fit a 1" pipe.

    You nest the coupler, and two reducers to make the arrow holders. I cut 8" off each 2" pipe to make my arrow holders. They are WAY too long at full length.

    Cut list:

    (4) 2-1/4" lengths (2) for the rearward close joints and (2) for the arrow holder at the tee.
    (4) 20" lengths for cross bars
    (2) 25" lengths for vertical bars
    (2) 6" lengths
    (2) 8" lengths
    (2) 10 to 12" lengths

    That should do it.
    Dry fit all your connections FIRST BEFORE GLUING! Get a sharpie marker and place tick marks to line up while gluing it up.
    I used the clear glue and it worked just fine. BETTER WORK QUICK WITH IT THOUGH! It sets up FAST!

    Drill small holes in T at the bottom of 2" arrow holder. Then dropping a 1 1/4" cap with flat side up in 2" tube so arrows will all stay same height and water will drain down around cap and out drilled holes

    Wow fats, thats a pretty detailed list! I was no where near that organized. I just kinda held my bow where I thought it should go and measured. Great list thanks!
