I shoot mine at 7-7 1/4", nock point about 1/4" high (nock under). A little tinkering is pretty much the only way to find the sweet spot--every bow and every archer is going to be a little different.

I really don't know about bare-shafting or paper tuning. I have heard folks that claim that one or the other is the best way, and I have heard some say that one or the other is no good. I figure that if you can get either one--an arrow that flies true with no fletches, or a "bullet hole" in paper, that something must be right! (I could be wrong though........)
