Default GROUP TUNING VS PAPER TUNING???

I use to think all you had to do to tune a bow was paper tune at 10 feet and if it shot a bullet hole, you were good to go. Then things became confusing when people started saying your field points and broadheads should hit in the same spot. Then some people would say paper tuning is useless, you should utilize group tuning. And then there is bare shaft tuning.

First of all, I don't see how your broadheads and field points should group exactly because of the shape and aerodynamics of a broadhead. Some people say you should move your arrowrest until the two group together, some say just to move your sights. Can someone just give me the BOTTOM LINE on what to do?

My goal is for the arrow to be as accurate as possible and to maximize the penetration potential of the arrow as well. I believe a "true" flying arrow is the key to maximizing penetration. Should I paper tune, group tune or both? This is for a hunting setup only, I don't care about 3-D or target shooting. Again, accuracy and penetration is my main goal. I shoot a Q2 and carbon arrows if that helps. Thank you.
