No not really. The key is a properly paper tuned bow. Most people really don't do it correctly and then have to make a lot of adjustments later. If properly done paper tuning will almost always get you very close to where you need to be. I have done it all, bare shaft, walk back and just done the tuning chart. The fact is that paper tuning not only will have your arrows shooting better, but will help you to understand what minor and major changes in your form, rest position, nock point location will do to arrow flight. Again the key is proper paper tuning. The other methods work, and work well, but paper tuning will show you things that you won't see right away using other methods.
