What's your tuning sequence?

[Traildust]

I tried the bare shaft crap, way to many factors for me to tinker with, 20 years ago I would have dove of it it, but I just don't have the time.

Here's my protocol:

Set up bow to factory specs....brace, a2a, DL, and draw weight

Set centershot to 13/16
Fire a few lipsticked arrows to see if I have any fletch contact
Fire through paper @ 7ft, adjust till I have a good tear
Start modified french tune all the way out to 30 yrds
Move right into BH tune from 20-60yrds

Been working fine for many years, on a few occasions, I have completely skipped the paper tune.

Am I missing anything or is this still too complex?

Lol so bare shaft too much tinkering but 3 sets of tinkering way easier?

In my experience, yup

[diamond10x]

1. Paper tune bare shaft
2. Fletch the bare shaft and shoot through paper to double check
3. Nock tune the rest of my arrows

That's my routine. I used to get pretty crazy into it but not anymore. I try to spend more of my energy and time practicing and keeping good form while shooting in real world hunting situations. I would go on a limb and say the majority of bad shots are due to inconsistent form in the heat of the moment than a bow that was tuned 15 different ways.

Shoot with a fixed blade.
pull hair out when I can’t get it right.
contemplate life.
start looking at new bows, releases, sights
switch vanes
pull hair out deciding 4 vs 3 vs 8 vanes
shoot again and realize it was a me problem the whole time and I was torquing it

[kd350]

On a serious note. I typically just get a big fixed blade and start shooting and moving the rest

Set to spec

paper tune

DONE!
