Since you are a true beginner, this is a great opportunity to save your sanity. Forget all about paper tuning. Even though there are many true believers in paper tuning, what kind of hole those arrows tear in a sheet of paper is really pretty meaningless. Even tuned to punch ' bullet holes,' a bow isn' t necessarily going to shoot it' s very best set like that.

If you' ve got a dozen arrows, sacrifice a couple to the cause. Strip the vanes off two of them and use the bareshaft method outlined in the Hoyt Tuning Guide. (You can download it in PDF format from the Hoyt website.) Do the rough setup that BobCo told you and then make small adjustments - VERY small adjustments, like 1/64" at a time - to get the bareshafts to hit with the fletched shafts.
