see shops use it because its simple. But most people do not understand this.
I was under the impression that most shops use paper tuning because they are limited in space. If you only have 15-20yds to shoot in it would be hard to walkback, group or even bareshaft tune with any effectiveness. Paper tuning IS easy but that does not mean it can't be effective if done correctly. No tuning method is effective if done incorrectly. If a shop only has the short range to work with better to papertune than nothing at all.
I agree bruce, not too many shops are going to be able to tune bows at 40 yards BH tuning. Its just not practical. I dont' blame them. I can move a rest 1/32" and may or may not see difference on paper, but I sure can see it with a bareshaft shot at 35 yards. And sure can set it with a thunderhead say at 50 yards.
