I've never liked paper tuning. It takes too long and is in my book, unreliable. I made my own set up out of tools in my shop. I use the bow square for my nock height and then 2 construction levels braced on both sides of my bow frame. I then take my digital Vermeer caliper to make sure my arrow is resting right down the center. It sounds like a lot but it's the quickest way I found to true everything up.

For sighting in here is a nice trick. I no longer use multiple pins. I went to a red dot scope. If I ever went back to pins, it still would be a single pin and adjust your shot like you would any gun, aim a little higher on a longer shot. It will simplify your life.


To sight it in, stand 10' away from your target with the bullseye directly horizontal to your arrow flight. Adjust the pin to shoot dead on. That in my experience is a dead on pin setting at around 22 to 25 yards out.
