If you are gripping your release to shoot and your release isn't following thru, you shouldn't be paper tuning.

After the shot is your release right beside your head? Or is it back behind your ear like you pulled thru the shot?

Hey, I have been there. And was shocked how much bow movement came after the shot. Bow usually ended up 2" to the left. Or if not balanced correctly, fall back or forward. Or caught myself without out my bow shoulder down. Or plucking the release.

If you really feel your not torquing or moving the bow, and you ahve moved the rest every which way from sunday, and you feel your arrows are spined consistently and "newer" not ones you shot for the past 5 years, you need to start looking at cams.

That is some wonderful advice right there BC. I agree that paper tuning can show shooter issues as much, if not even more so, than bow issues. Tuning is certainly limited by the ability of the shooter.
