I will bet you money that after a TECH gets done with my bow I won't shoot any better than I did before I took it there. I'd rather have help with my form and shooting technique to be honest.

I have purposely set some of my bows seriously out of whack just for the heck of it before. Guess what, they still shot pretty much the same, except when using fixed blades. And they shot well, just not to the same point my field points did.

If you think having your cam 3 degrees out of rotation during a match is going to make you lose you probably lost before you started. Your mental game is very important in archery.

And I don't see how putting a bow in a machine is going to tell you anything about how your bow is tuned? No one shoots or holds the bow the same so it just doesn't mean anything. I guess if it were way off it might tell you your form sucks though. Heck a shooting machine will shoot well matched arrows into the same spot regardless of tune. If we all shot like machines we wouldn't nead to tune anything at all.

The measure of a good tune is if your arrows go where you point them consistantly shot after shot. There is no right or wrong tune, just the one that works for you.

My bow will shoot unfletched arrows together at beyond 40 yards as well as I can shoot them. That is tuned plenty good enough for me, I don't care what a machine or proffesional tuner says about my set up.

My opinion anyway.
