I agree with pinwheel, and am glad to hear him say it. I have mentioned it a few times, and people don't seem to believe me. Maybe him they will. I have played with bare shaft tuning, and it was really just a night mare, only to have my arrows group worse any way.

Actually the Easton tuning guide only suggests it for finger shooters, It does not give consistant results with release aids because the arrow flexes differently.

I do pretty much the same as the rest of you, I just group tune at different distances. I do think paper tuning is a good place to start sometimes, especially with a new bow set up. It will tell you if something is way off to start with. Like spine or rest contact. But if it is a bow I am comfortable with and set up before, usually my intitial settings are close enough I don't have to bother. Like if I am just changing a rest or something.

Good luck,
Paul
