Sometimes they will never fly the same. then you either tune with broadheads or shoot mech.
But for me a drop away fixes all that. I never tuned anybow with a drop away.
Set it up properly with square and center point and start shooting field or broad heads.
Why anyone would choose a biscuit is beyond me, for 20+ years archers have tuned to keep any arrow or fletching contact upon flight now all of a sudden people are choosing full contact rests on arrow flight which is nonsense.

DO NOT TUNE TO PAPER,use paper to CHECK tune.If you have feildpoints and broadheads impacting the same,you should have a good tear.If not,you either torque the bow or have some type of problem withinn the bow.Maybe even bad arrows.


Paper is great but you must understand the info it feeds you and not just go adjusting the rest around to get a good tear.

I even use a bareshaft through paper at the beginning,then walk back,then on to group tuning (for target)or broadhead tuning for hunting.

I get bullet holes and bareshaft hit the same as fletched out to 20.

I agree about the WB,it is a pain when it comes to paper.
