When you download eastons guide , it will say bareshaft tuneing for , recurve shooters useing a finger release or , compound shooters useing a finger release . If niether one of those apply to you then dont use that method . If you are a compound shooter useing a mecanical release , go to a diferant tuneing method . That is what the majority of archers use nowadays . I hunt , so broadhead tuneing is the most important/usefull to me.
