Probably well enough for a guy just wanting to shoot mechanicals, and not worried about more "precision tuning," but a BH tune will get you almost as precise as anything, as you're adjusting the rest not only to the arrows, but also to YOU!!! Generally if you BH tune a bow, you'll find that when finished, you even shoot your FP's better. I actually know a handful of target shooters that will BH tune their target rigs for a "super-fine" tune on them. Not that they'll ever intend on shooting BH's out of them any other time, but it helps tweak just that much more to what they are trying to accomplish.
Thanks.
This is the whole reason why I decided to start over again. For the life of me I could not get my BH and FP to hit together out at even 30 yards. I could get the Slicks and my FP to come close (3" to the left of my FP) and could not come close to getting the Muzzies (6" to the left). For some eason no matter how small an adjustment I made to the rest (QAD that has to now be replaced because in this process of tunning the bolt that tightens down the arrow rest stripped and can no longer be tightened down to hold the rest from moving left and right) I could never get the BH and FP to hit spot on. Quit frustrating and when I get a new rest and start over again I hope everything pans out!!
