    Seems a lot easier to set center shot than walk back tuning.

    No thanks. If riser isn't square with centershot it becomes useless. Plus, there will be some riser flex when shot.

    You don't need a tool to get it close, you can do that by eye by looking down through the cams.

    On a Hoyt, 13/16 " will get you very close as well. Great place to start tuning.

    That tool was first available in the 80's I think. Not sure if it is still available. I think the laser devices have replaced it.

    My sentiments mimic this. Eyeing up center shot is not a difficult task. Any tuning done past your intial setup will take care or centershot issues anyways.

    x2 I don't think I've ever owned a bow that tuned dead center. Too many variables go into determining what the bow likes for a given arrow combination.
