you can shoot in like a 5 yard space. But i know he doesn't paper tune. Im not saying its a bad shop. He fixed an idler lean for me that no one else even checked for. My bow has never shot better. I did call another shop that was recommended to me and the guy said he serves the string in instead of using the footballs. He also said the LD's are the easiest tuning rests he has ever seen. So i might try him out since he has a range and i can do more tuning.
Since this seems to be a chat room for us 4 i will ask another question(s).
Anyone heard anything about Proline Bowstrings? It is local and im sure I could get a quick turn around.
SC: Yeah he did that for my nock point -- he put it inside the d-loop and said it provides some downpressure (the arrow sits on top of the knot). Now you know how much I have to learn about tuning: I didn't even know that was called a overhand knot -- i just thought it was half of tying a shoe HAHAH
For whatever its worth... I don't paper tune either. Some folks do, some don't. In my opinion there are so many variables involved that I have typically found that its a lot more time and trouble than it is worth and I can arrive at the same result faster by going on to something a bit easier on my shooter and me as a tuner.
Big country is a paper tuning fan. I'm sure he could tell you what his set up is and what he looks for. Its just another brick in his wall though... he doesn't base everything on it.
Other thing I've never been able to figure out with modern compound and release aid shooters is bare shaft tuning... over my head....
