I don't know if you'd call it being detail oriented or just call it knowing your equipment. Like me, I know my bow is IBO 314 or something like that. But I like heavy arrows, and heavier broadhead, and I have a short draw length 27 1/2. I know my bow is shooting my 475 grain arrow at 260 fps. Do I need to know it. NOPE... but knowing what it does helps me know my equipment. If I want to tinker and see what changes I have a starting point. Paper comfirms my arrows are flying true. I want to know what my FOC is because from what I've read over the past 37 years, it helps to have it in a certain range for hunting. I've always tuned with that in mind. K.E. is a good guide for determining what you can reasonably expect. Yes it's anal, if you have the speed and a balanced arrow the deer is dead. It's important to know if you're thinking mechanical. GAG..GAG spit... NO I'm not thinkiing mechanical. LOL I don't know that you should call all these things being detail oriented, justcomplete in you bow tuning process and understanding.
