to really split hairs GMMAT, id say your both right lol...

tuning to me is the process of getting your arrows to fly as perfect as possible...

but, with that perfect arrow flight, comes more efficient use of energy...speed is likely to be better....will carry speed and energy longer and better...THAT is why shooting mechanicals from a bow that is not properly tuned(using them as baindaids) is a terrible idea...when your arrow porposes or fish tails etc and is hitting the target at an angle other than going straight in, your wasting energy...and that arrow fishtailing or whatever in flight is buring energy struggling to fly the direction it was sent...

i bareshaft tuned the other day...it showed me a lot about arrow flight....

i didnt have to LOOK when i found the "sweet" spot...i could HEAR and SEE it...that arrow flew straight...went in straight...and honestly made more of a thud on my target than the poor tuned arrows...screwed on 3 blade 125gr muzzys after that, and not to my surprised, they flew exactly to the same POI as my fieldpoints shot...watching poor arrow flight is pretty amazing...


BobCO is right....goto eastons website and find their "tuning guide" use a couple different methods of their tuning guide...most are simple and dont require much...easiest way to get the closest, the fastest IMO is to broadhead tune with a full sized fixed blade broadhead...if you can get your BHs and FPs to hit to the same POI, your bow is going to be very close, if not dead on "tuned" for a hunting bow...and ive noticed once my bow is "tuned" my groups tighten...
