IMN23D, I was thinking a bit (kinda scary), sometines when I paper tune I get some weird results, especially at the six foot test. I use what some people call excessive weights on my tips (175 grain) with long arrows (33&quot, so arrow flex off the bow is pretty important. Do you think that since I have never done any off the tests that you suggest, that I might be getting an inconsistant initial flex off the bow that is showing up on the paper. I am going to try your tests and see if I can get the initial flex off the bow at least consistant. BTW clearence is not a proplem at all.
