There's the complete guide, from paper tuning to everything you need to know. Tuning, fine tuning, and fine-fine tuning. Then broadhead tuning.

Great link and write up.. thats for posting it.. lots a good information..

I can't figure out why Easton did not have it on their web site last time I checked. I emailed them, and they said it was being updated.

I printed out a copy, and thumb tacked it on the bulletin board at my archery club/range. Over the past years, you can see how much wear and tear the document has gotten from use.

Glad to be of assistance.

I don't worry with it. My reasoning being, I don't shoot for a living, My hunting arrows all have feathers on them.To make it work properly, everything has to be a constant everytime. I mean every time, If you grip your bow a little different, if you torque your bow just a tad, it will show up on paper, your form has to be perfect everytime.

My Bad, I don't know what Iwas thinking!!!!! I was talking about bare shaft tuning. paper tune is good. and you should do it. google paper tune there are some great diagrams that are easy to understand, you should have it tuned within a few minutes.

I haven't seen it as part of the instructions, but you have to tune at 2 distances..at least I do.

First thing is to google or contact a pro shop and get the specs of your bow and settings for distance of the upper and lower riser/limb distance from string using t-square. Set to specs

First paper tune is 2-3 yards out then again at 5-6. You might catch the arrow at a "good" point and it goes funky down the line. Besides paper tuning do bare shaft tuning. The nock should be point directly back to the rest from target...no slant or up/down. also shoot down line with no fletch and see how the arrow flys...have someone behind you watching for kickout.

I just paper tuned my XT with the HD convertible rest and that thing makes it EASY!!!! Instead of messing with the nock all the time the height adjustement of the drop away fine tunes the arrow flight...as long as you align height with the berger button hole.

these new rests make it easy

Thanks for the help guys. Went by David's yesterday and he got me all set up.

[Lonestar_HOYT]

Did he paper tune your bow? Just curious if you got to see it happen, and know that it is shooting the arrow as it should.

[k9trainer]

Yes, he did. I have had great experiences with David's Outdoors and give them all my business from now on.

Not papertuning is like not doing the propper balancing and alignment to your wheels and tires on your truck.


When I first started bowshooting, I pretty much grow without nobody telling me the right stuff to do. I thought I "invented" the walk back method (because I didn't know it already existed, I just thought it would work doing it that way and it did!) and enjoyed it's benefits... of course later I found TBH and then I realized it already had been "discovered"... then I found a small hidden bow shooting club in town and they had this metal frame where you can place a big piece of butcher's brown paper, stretched and then the first time I paper tunned I discovered several mistakes in my setup (nocking point and arrow rest mainly) and was able to correct it and really enjoyed of the benefits... I highly encourage to do it.

Just because the pro's dont do it it doesn't mean I have all perfectly setup and my bow is shooting all of it's potential.

Good to hear. You need to be paper tuned.

I didn't mean to start an argument, does anyone have a good write up on how to properly paper tune. I shot most of the night and never really got a consistent grouping. I just bought the bow from a friend, changed the draw length, string, and cable.

North Texas Archery Shop in Farmersville, ask for Fay
