Eastons tuning guide is an excellent place to start, there are also some books and other online sites that are great. Some of the best info you will get will be right here though.

Some times I get blasted for this, but I will say it anyway. Something I want you to keep in mind about tuning, especially for a beginner archer. In most cases tuning will not make you shoot better. Accuracy does not come from tuning, it comes from shooting well. It is important with a hunting set up though because you want that broad head tipped arrow traveling as straight as possible when it hits the deer. Just remember that you can't tune any better than you YOU can shoot.

What I mean by this is that if you are currently shooting 6 inch groups at 20 yards having a perfectly tuned bow will not make you suddenly start shooting 3 inch groups at the same distance. The things you should concentrate on are that your bow fits you the best it can, that your arrows are all well matched and in good shape, and that you have good form and release technique. The key to shooting well is being able to repeat everything the exact same way every time.

I'm not saying tuning is not important and that you should forget about it, just that at this point you should not obsess about it and let yourself get frustrated because it isn't perfect. Worry about shooting consistent groups and being confident and comfortable with drawing and releasing arrows. Then worry about tuning if you need to.

There are a lot of people that spend a ton of time on fine tuning, and lots of money on fancy gadgets and equipment like expensive sights, rests and releases to help them shoot better. When the simple truth is if they would have spent half the time and money on a few lessons they would probably shoot twice as well and be more confident.

Archery is a lot like golf in many aspects. Do you think Tiger Woods got where he is by winging it? I bet he took a few lessons along the way.

Something to keep in mind anyway.
