Last season was my 1st bow hunting season.... Got a buck and a doe, so was pretty happy. Literally bought bow and 6 arrows, shot bow till confident, went hunting .... knew nothing better than to trust the shop setup.
As I read on here and learned more, I realized that the fact that I had 5% or so of my sight ring obstructed by the riser was a pretty good sign that something was misaligned.
Paper test quickly told me that I was off.
After a just a few minutes and 2 adjustments, I had it 'reasonable'.
By doing this, I had my entire sight ring back. Definitely the confidence boost that I needed to tell me that I was moving in the right direction.
Did a walk back test with 7 and 20 (to keep the zeros pretty close) and made a final couple 1/32" tweaks, verified my broadheads, and called it a day.
According to the chrono, I picked up 6fps in the process. Hoyt Ignite 29" 65lbs getting ~242fps.
Pretty happy with the groups and results. Tuning more with any of the other methods would be beyond my ability to shoot groups. 45 minutes well spent.
