Default RE: Paper Tuning your bow

Most people paper tune up close, not at 20 yards. By the time your arrow reaches 20 yards the fletchings should have corrected things. If you get a tear at 20 yards something is seriously wrong with your set up.

Try that same test with the paper at a few feet and see what happens. That will give you a better indication of how the arrow is coming out of the bow. I personally don't hold much stock in paper tuning, but it will show if things are way off, if you have a form problem or if you are having some sort of contact issue.

Download Eastons tuning guide and it will describe paper tuning and other methods pretty well.

I also think those arrows are a bit weak for your set up. I shoot the same length 2213's with 100 grn tips and according to TAP and On Target they spine correctly for my set up which is 51 pounds and a 26 inch draw. That is out of a bowtech mighy might with a 320 fps IBO rating though.
