Default Does this look right? SOLVED!

I dredged (sp?) up a few old posts from Pinwheel and others on " supertuning/creep tuning" or whatever youd like to call it and followed directions. The creep tuning actually resulted in no adjustments to my bow, whether I was hard against the wall or up in the front of the valley (which mind you with a Pat Dually at 71lbs is hard to do!) the arrows were all hitting on the same vertical plane.

From there I started group tuning, abandoning the paper that I had so dilligently blown bulletholes through. I started moving my rest to the right and shooting from 30yds and the groups just kept getting tighter. On my second adjustment I shot a 2 inch group (3 arrows) at 30yds. On the next set of arrows (no adjustment) I arrowed my first arrow. I' ve been shooting since I was 13 and I' ve never Robinhooded an arrow (39 now). The rest is now in a much more natural position instead of " way out there" . I' ve never shot this consistently at this range.

No I havent shot it through paper to see what it' s doing and I' m probably not gonna. Thanks Pinwheel, Matt, JeffB and all the other archery brains out there who make this forum worth my internet service fee.

What I' ve learned is that paper tuning is a reasonable place to start but it doesnt stop there. Having the patience and determination to keep tweeking to maximize your accuracy is painful but well worth it. Before I started tweeking today I was shooting better groups than I ever had before and I chalked it up to the new bow. But based on my form and pin placement I thought I could do better. I' m glad I didnt stop there, just hope I know when to stop now. Thanks again.
