Default RE: Is paper tuning the answer??

Paper tuning works for me.
I'm willing to try different shafts, different weight tip, or even fletching to get a bullet tear with the rest and nock in an acceptable position.
Once the bow is paper tuned I expect a compact fixed head will fly with field points. If the head won't, I'll try a different head.

I’ve shot Slick Trick magnums @ 40 yards and they flew great, didn't try further; same POI as field points.
I've shot standards out to 60 and they flew great too (Sometimes I think they fly better than field points).
Bow is paper tuned, Blazer fletching. Arrow speed 293-294 fps.

I'm fully aware that if I stood several feet closer to the paper tuning stand the tear could be different due to flexing of the shaft, .....so I always stand at about the same predetermined distance.....LA LA LA LA LA.
