Paper tuning

[k9trainer]

I feel my bow is off a bit. How do you guys paper tune and what should I look for when I do it?

Hopefully someone will post that great illustration of how to paper tune.

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.

Priceless, but unbelievable.

I dont papertune, it is over rated. I know top pro archers that dont even papertune anymore, but they do "walkback" tune

While "walk-back" tuning has it's purpose, so does papertuning.
Papertuning lets us know that all components of set-up agree with each other, but it is not the end of tuning.
Broadhead tuning is where we need to concentrate.
Walk-back tuning takes the assumption that the shooter is holding the bow perfectly plumb,( no cant) which is not always the case.

Unbelievable, If you don't paper tune your bow, you and your bow will never shoot to your or it's potential.

Then I guess I'll take mine over rated and I know state champions that do

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.

I think you need to take the bow to an archery shop and have them tune it.
It is well worth what it costs.

I know, the only problem is, there isn't a shop any where even close to me. I had David's Outdoor do the work on it but they are an hour away from me.

There's any # of things that could be wrong, and the season is 11 days away.
It would be in your best interest to go see David.

I am trying. I hope he has time on Friday. Thanks for the advice everyone.
