If I were to use just one distance I would go out to 20 yds. Normally I will start around 10 and go out to 40 but I have just stopped at 20 and went on to other tuning. I start at 10, just in case my calculations were off, I don't want the bareshaft missing the target completely.

I try and set the arrows up for the mid DW of my bow and then I adjust the DW. If I do need to cut down the arrow I will cut from the back end. With that said when I cut the arrow initially I will spin it and cut the end that is most out of whack or, if the shaft is straight, cut a little from each end,to get it to my "start" length.
