Default French tuning

I just put a QAD Ultra Hunter on my Allegiance and instead of paper tuning I decided to try French tuning. The method involves sighting in a pin at 3 yds and then moving out to the equivelent sight point at long range and adjusting the rest to hit the same point. For my current set-up that is 53 yds.

I sighted in dead on at 3 and then went to 53 yds. My group was high right so I adjusted the rest accordingly (You d ont adjust the sight at 53 yds just the rest). Went back to 3 yds and sighted in again then went back to 53 and adjusted the rest one last time until hitting center. This was the only adjustments I made to the set-up. Whole process took 20 minutes.

Today while at Autumn Sky I figured I'd ask them to shoot thru paper and paper tune if needed. First shot was a bullet hole and the guy there said he wouldn't touch a thing.

I usually try paper tuning first and find myself spending an hour or more trying to get it right and often not being able to do so and getting ticked. After today's results I'm only going to French tune from now on and would recommend people try it out if they have problems paper tuning a rig.
