    Hi all

    today i decided to paper tune my new bow with a bare shaft arrow (with field point) . Looks like i have a tear about one inch to the left diagonally down from point of impact. Does anyone know of a web page that explains what different tear results might mean and what might cause them.

    Thanks

    I have a great phone app called Archery Tool. Has all the info. I have it for my Droid but sure they have it for iPhones too.

    Both is good advice. I have the easton archery tuning guide loaded on my phone, but also have the app that has some basic stuff such as that.
    Don't just settle for the basic. Read the easton guide as well. There is some very valuable information on it.
