Ha, yeah I work on it every day... I'm yet to have a broken arrow.
I guarantee that arrow feels more stress at release than I ever put on it pulling it out of the target.
I was taught to remove them much differently. I hope not too many beginners see that.Because you do that every day, it's proper?
Try that with an aluminum arrow.
Seriously man... Did you catch a little sarcasm in there?
I didn't say anything I did was "proper."
I'm glad you were taught to pull your arrows differently, in fact the next time we shoottogether you can pull all the arrows and I'll keep score.
Sound good? Perhaps you could post us a wonderfully educational video on how to properly remove your arrows from the target, obviously I could learn something from that (maybe I'd be able to continue pulling arrows without breaking them as I've done for several years).
Oh and I don't shoot aluminum arrows, but if you want to send me a few I'll test it out...

In regard to the bare shaft part of the tuning - did you just do that to verify the spine of your arrows was correct, or did you do some moving of the rest and nocking point like one would generally do to paper tune a bow?
Generally I shoot a bare shaft against a fletched arrow at a fairly close distance and adjust my rest for the two to meet. Then I'll keep moving back to about 20 yards making minor adjustments as necessary. Often times if I do this, my BH's will be shooting perfect and I won't have to go through that entire process.
I kind of use them to check eachother... I guess sort of like using addition to check subtraction.
