What type of paper for tuning?

[wvboy]

just curious as to what kind of paper everyone uses for paper tuning?

I used to use only onion skin type paper, but with the modern bows that are out these day, I have found just ordinary paper will work fine.

Butcher paper works best. It won' t tear as easily and really shows what the arrow is doing. Also, you can get it in those large rolls, build you a frame out of PVC, and you' ve got darn near a lifetime supply.

freezer paper

down at the local shop we use newspaper print. you can usually get damaged rolls of the stuff for free or for a very small price from you local newspaper printer.

Butcher/freezer paper will work; however, the gauge of the paper will eventually play havoc with your vanes or fletch, and the wax from the paper will eventually coat your shafts and vanes/fletch with a sticky residue.

I recommend you go to your local " home repair" store e.g., Lowe' s. Menard' s, etc., and purchase the thin-gauged, brown masking paper that is used for interior painting. The roll contains ample feet of paper and runs about $5.00 a roll. One roll should do you for quite sometime.

I' m spoiled, I use 20# vellum. Any revised or scrapped prints got thrown in the trash....until I asked everyone in the office to save them....now I have plenty of paper to shoot....of course, some of it has lines and whatnot on it, but no biggies. It' s honestly the best paper I' ve ever shot.

I find that a good 80# cover stock also works well. Got to love comercial printing leftovers.
