Default Tuning process

Now that hunting season is just about over for me.(one more week of winter bow in Pa.) I'll be shooting indoor and 3-D. I didn't have the luxery of having two bows this year(for various COLLAGE&KIDS reasons)so I'll be changing over to my target set-up. I've had the same tuning process for the last 5-6 years now with good results. I think. Do any of you Teckie see a falt or a better way to tune my bows.
Here's my process
1) After setting my rest,site and nocking point I eye balling everything and set my timing (Duel cam)
2)I shoot in a 20 yd. pin. and do a powder check for clearence.
3) I start bare shaft tuning for spine and nocking point and make necessary adjustments. I don't put much wt. in paper tuning so that's not part of my process any longer.
4) I then shoot in a 40 yd. pin and adjust my site for windage.
5) At this point I start vertical and horizonal line shooting at 40 yds. and make micro adjustments to my center shot and nocking point.
6) This is when I shoot in my other pins. A 30 and 50 yd. Most 3-D cources I shoot don't have a 60 or longer target.
6) My final step will be to check my bare shaft out to 30 yds and if I'm shooting the same groups with fletched and b/s at that distance I'm good to go. I use 40 yds as my farthest distance in my tuning process becaues I can shoot my tightest groups with more consistancy then 50-60.

This process has been working for me but I'm always looking for improvement. The only other tuning I think I could do (and sometimes I do)would be long distance group tuning. Any suggestion are welcome. JERRY
