RE: How exactly do you group tune?
PSEJoe-
You're talking semantics here, "Supertuning" is a phrase I have called the creep tune method for many years.(ask regular members of all of the messageboards how many times I've referred to it by that name) I know how old George is, and have spoken with him on occasion and have sat in on his seminars, as well as Bob Ragsdales' and Alexander Kirrilovs'. (among many others--Bernie Pellerite, Frank Pearson, Larry Wise, Chris Jones, etc) I have not heard of any other tuning method called "supertuning" in my years in this business with the exception of once I overhead a tech call laser tuning this. Everything else is simply "tuning". As I stated, semantics. The procedure was aptly described for all to know what I was talking about, so please stop trying to rattle my cage.
And if you and C903 go over and read a little more about it, you may even choose to use the "creep tune", "supertune", (whatever you want to call it) method. It DOES work, and certainly is by no means a waste of time. I look at it this way--- If one person uses it and gets a harvest instead of a lost animal that will eventually die, to me that in itself is worth all of this trouble of bantering back and forth with the non-believers. Our sport is not one that is "good enough" accuracy-wise IMO, the game we hunt deserve better than the "that's good" lazy hunters who pick their bows up two days before the season and blow the dust off and shoot groups the size of a basketball at 20 yds. (seen lots of 'em, and they shouldn't be in the woods IMHO) And, the anti-hunters need no further fuel than what they already have, IMO. "Lazy hunters" need to get un-lazy, more educated about the sport and equipment, and work harder to ensure they make quick and clean kills. Utilizing better technical tactics and tuning methods to score better in tournaments only flows over into that persons' hunting shots too. I make my living from this sport.(two archery businesses)I live and breathe it, and want it to get BETTER for my children and grandchildren to fully enjoy in the future. (Most people do, but don't think about this part of it.) "That's good" is simply not good enough. Sorry for the rant.
