RE: Tune or Retune??

As long as you know how to 'document' what you have, making slight adjustments to 'check' your tune is a wise choice. It will do two things for you: 1) ascertain that your bow is either in or out of tune and 2) establish a confidence in your equipment.

You must, however, remember that tuning is a 3 stage process. I refer to it as the "Tuning Trilogy" - tune the bow, tune the arrow, tune the archer. If any one of these is the slightest bit 'out of tune', it will have a definite affect on the other two and confidence/consistency will suffer.

It must also be noted that most only consider tuning the bow. Arrows and proper form/execution of the shot are equally important and are often underated/overlooked.

Finally, many don't understand the difference between target form and hunting form. That's a whole subject in itself.
