Default OK, I give up....

I have been working on tuning my bow for a few days now. Today I printed off a tuning procedure (from Easton) and followed the part about eliminating porpousing (spelling?)and fishtailing via the shoot three fletched arrows followed by two unfletched arrows route.... Following that procedure I had the fletched arrows and the unfletched arrows grouping together in fairly short order. Then when I went back to the paper (by now I cringe every time I think about shooting through paper). At six feet (the procedure from Easton recommended from 4 to 6 feet), not good! So I stepped back to25 feet, bullet hole after bullet hole. Gee Wally, I dunno??!!

There have been several comments in this forumwhich indicate that paper tuningprovides as much information about the shooter as itdoes the bow. The date available indicates that I must be a significant contributor to my owndilema, but I have no idea what I am doing wrong!!???

Specs:
Hoyt Vectrix, 57#
27" carbon extreamehunter maxima 250arrows, 100 grain tips
Wisker Biscuit rest (seriously considering a drop away rest)
Fletcher Hunter release
