I stopped paper tuning a long time ago. Paper tuning at times is untuning a bow to the shooter. I'd sooner fix the shooters issues. The first thing I do is laser and level tune the bow and then go to broadheads and walk back if necessary. In roughly 20 bows, mostly likely more than that I've seen flawless broadhead flight after doing this. Just for ****s and giggles I shot my 82nd through paper after doing this and it had a perfect bullet hole.
That's a good point Rob, I don't have a laser but the pro shop I frequent does and they can get things almost right on close before you ever shoot an arrow.
As stated previously, different strokes..... I laser align and level then shoot through paper. Usually my adjustments are turning down DW and then I'm done. Don't usually have to BH tune. But that is starting with an arrow that is correctly spined. As far as untuning for a shooter, if a shooter has poor form that will manifest itself in any tuning scenario. But in reality that is what we do, isn't it, untune from "ideal" to match the shooter's idiosyncrasies/abilities. What may be a tuned bow and arrow for one may not be for another. What bothers me about some of these "paper tune" threads is that some come on and say paper tuning is a waste of time. It's no more of a waste of time than any other tuning method. I could claim BH tuning is a waste of time (it isn't) because whenever I get to the point of putting a BH on my arrow they always shoot right with the FP's. Hell, I shot a bareshaft BH at 30yds and it was low but in line with the FP's. I suspect the real problem with paper tuning is that it is not as easy to setup and do as slapping a BH on another shaft and "BH tuning".
