Default paper tuning

Sorry about all the questions on tuning, but i'm trying to get my bow shooting as good as possible. I was wondering why when eastons paper tuning guide says to only tun from 5-6 feet, you guys tune from 20-30 yards?

I believe the fletchings on the arrow will start to stabilize it past that point. I don't see the point at 20 to 30 yards to papertune.

When I first had my patriot setup, it tore a 2" right tear from 5 feet, but when back at 20 yards it tore a perfect bullet hole because the fletchings stabilized it by then. I think that if you are going to papertune, do it from 5 feet or less and then do a bare shaft tune from 20 yards to fine tune anything the paper is lying about. I also pout lipstick on the edge of my fletchings as well before I do any of this to see if the fletchings are contacting anything. Papertuning and bareshaft tuning all assume that there is proper fletch clearance. This is what I do to dial my bow in and it seems to work well. It will only works as well as you can shoot though, you need to be able to consistently shoot 2" groups at 20 yards to do this right.

I do it from 6', 10', and 15' which is 5 yrds. max. I think you may have misunderstood. Bare shaft tuning is done at longer yardage.
