Paul, I was reading up a little on bareshaft tuning, and have heard two sides (opinions) on the subject matter. One, like you, states it's not entirely necessary for release shooters, while the others say it is a great way to check for spine. I noticed while reading through the easton guide, the bareshaft tuning is noted only for release shooters and seems to pertain to nock point and rest adjustments. Can these nock point/rest adjustments be done with group/walkback tuning with a compound then instead of bareshaft? Or is there another way? I get the feeling some archers believe bareshaft gives the archer PRECISE tuning capabilities that walk-back/group/french tuning cannot. Thoughts?
I myself find bare shaft tuning the best, quickest, and most sensitive way to tune. And totally disagree with the statement that its meant for finger shooters only. You move back to 40 yards and you will find out quick, you do care how that arrow is coming out.
