BO,

A few comments and questions:

First, you say that you are getting almost perfect bulletholes on the paper tuning!!! This is not unusual as some archers tune with a slight high tear slightly right or left depending on what hand they shoot with. Have you checked your paper tune at different ranges? Sometimes you can hit a null getting a good tear and have a false tune. Depending on your arrows spine you may not get the same tear as with the fletched arrow.

How good are your groups at 20 yds? I see a lot of archers shoot pretty well at 20 yds and then spreadout pretty quickly going to 30 or 40 yds. This is particularily true if you are trying to watch your arrows in flight. There is a saying in archery "If you want to see a bad shot look for it". Looking for the arrow causes you to fall out of the shot. Also the further you get out yardage wise the greater your form and holding errors are amplified on target. I did the triangulation that if you shot an outside "X" on a indoor target, you would be on the edge of the bullseye at 40 yds and out of the bullseye at 60 yds with the same shot. You must hold a lot tighter at longer ranges to be accurate. Your arrows should be recovered to straight flight before 20yds providing that you do not have severe spine problems. Even if the bow is not perfectly tuned it can be sighted in to shoot good groups at longer ranges. Spend more time on trying to really concentrate on the shot and holding tight, your groups will improve with practice.



Aim Hard!
