Default I'm content, finallly

I just finished shooting my bow through paper, and my whiskerbiscuit is finally set.
My arrows fly straight, checked it at 2m and 4m to be sure.
My first two pins are sighted in at 18m and 25m. The third pin wil be set at 32m.
This season I won't be shooting at anything further away than that, when my confidence grows I will set my fourth pin.
I wanted to thank everyone here who I may have burdened with my questions.
It paid off, I now have a perfectly tuned bow and a decent form without any help in real life, everything was done with HNI guidance. Which only shows the true value of this website and it's members....

It's a good feeling to get a bow to that point. Sometimes it'salmost too easy. Sometimes it requires a lot of tinkering. I sort of enjoy the process; although not sure I would want to do it professionally at a shop. I'm assuming you have tried various fixed broadheads and they shoot the same (or very close) as field points?

Nice job! Being content with your equipment and shooting is always a great feeling.

Now that you have it tuned, or so you think, you need to shoot your broadheads. If the bow is tuned as well as you think then broadheads should have the same point of impact as your field points. Until that time it's only tuned for field points through paper at X meters.

well, I think once the bow is papertuned with fieldpoints at different distances, it will be easier to do with the broadheads, especially when using slick tricks.
I have only one problem, I don't know what to use as a target for those sharp Bheads.
I shot it at my foam target and had to cut the head out with a knife.....

It bloody well took you long enough![8D]

I don't know if you can get it over there, but I used to use high density styrofoam flotation blocks for broadhead targets. The stuff marinas use to float their docks.
