    I let the bow shop tune it when I bought it.

    Shop can't really tune a bow for you.

    yup, only a bow can be 'tuned' by the actual shooter and by being shot and adjusted as needed .. a shop can do a "set up", they can 'help' with tuning, but YOU must shoot it to finalize the tune to your form ... set-up and paper tuning is only a start ... the ultimate goal is to tune to where your BH's and FP's hit the same POI and with good arrow flight ...

    I didn't mean they tuned then gave it to me. I was there shooting it after every adjustment. We did paper test and everything. I havent used a bow in 20 years. I am learning how to tune one.

    You can tune a bow but you can not tune a fish:biggrin: 80's reference.

    I don’t know. There are the Trumpetfish, the Cornetfish, the Guitarfish, the Fiddler Ray and the Banjo Catfish to be considered.
