Send me the bow and the .54 Hawken. I'll send you back a tuned bow.

Well, since I know you ain't gonna fall for that... The way I prepare a bow for tuning:

First thing to do is stretch a string across both axles and measure from the string to the belly side of the limbs at each end of the riser. Adjust the limb bolts until you get the same measurement at both ends. That is called 'even tiller.'

Then, take your bow square and mark out a point on your string that is directly across from the centerline of arrow rest mounting hole. Then center an arrow nock over that mark and use it as a gage to establish your nockset.

Then, adjust the height of your arrow rest so that when you load an arrow on the rest and eyeball it from the side, the arrow is centered up on that mounting hole.

After that, it gets a little tricky. On some bows, you can eyeball the string from behind so that it splits the handle, then adjust the centershot of your rest so the string splits the arrow all the way to the point. On some bows, you can eyeball the centershot from above and center the arrow up on the stabilizer. If your limbs are parallel all the way to the ends, you can measure from the edge of the limb to the string groove on the cam. Then put a piece of masking tape on the belly side of each limb and mark that distance on each tape. Center the string up on those marks and adjust centershot by that.

Those steps will get you close enough to begin tuning. It would help if you'd list what kind of rest you have because there are tuning procedures that are kinda specific to the rest. Also, do you shoot a string loop or do you hook the release directly to the string... or do you shoot fingers? With fingers there's a different beginning centershot adjustment, where the tip of the arrow is set slightly outside the string when it's centered.

A little more info would help get you going.
