Honestly? If you're getting good, consistent groups.....what difference does anything else make?
Efficiency. If your bow is shooting your arrow correctly it is transferring the enrgy more efficiently. The arrow is flying more efficiently amd will have the best chance to do its' job, efficiently. Can untuned bows and arrows kill game? Sure, happens every year, butif the shot is less than good and the conditions are less than good I want my equipment functioning most efficiently because it will be more forgiving of my erros and bad conditions.
I agree, also I have seen many guys who were shooting good groups with an out of tune bow. If you were to inspect the arrows closely before pulling themoutof the target. You would find theycould beall pointing a slightly different direction, but yet the point of inpact will betogether. Also a untune bow will never shootas fast, asif it was in tune.
To add to this: You can also be shooting a good group at 15 yds but when you go back to 40 it is not so good anymore.
