Default RE: Paper Tuning Question

I had a buddy that use to laugh at me paper tuning my bow. When I finally talked him into shooting through the paper he was getting a terrible left tear to which he replied " thats ok, it hits where i' m aiming" he was getting good groups.

I then suggested we take the 3-d target out in the woods and have some real life hunting practice. We each took turns placing the target and picking the spot to shoot from, I picked one spot that your arrow had to come real close to a little sapling in order to hit the kill zone on the target. I shot and got a clean kill. He shot and the back of his arrow smacked the little sapling and missed everthing.

We went back to the house and paper tuned his bow and now he does not laugh at me anymore......

Paper tuning is a very important part of getting the most out of your set up and a properly tuned set up will penetrate much better than a arrow that is wagging its tail.....
