I got bored one day over the winter and realized I had all the parts laying around to make my own target retrieval. Thought I would share incase someone else hasn't already thought of it.
Works great on calm afternoons like today.
Of course my back yard and deck is a perfect layout for this but adding a pole and another pulley would work on level ground also.
Fully deployed I have exactly 100yds distance.
Components:
Two ratchet straps.
Two pulleys with swivel mounts .
One used spindle from lawnmower deck.
700feet of 5/32 poly/nylon rope. (About $75)
10' of 1/2" pvc and two "t"
A piece of angle metal about 4x4x12" long
2'x2' piece of sign material or something to stick targets to , I used scrap piece of TPO roof material.
Not counting the drill and used spindle, I have under $120 in it
