Tuning with just one method
 
If you could only tune your setup using just one method which would you use.

I have listed the methods that seem to be most commonly talked about.



*I thought this should go in Technical but they don't allow for polls in there.

You left out broadhead tune, which would be my vote. Eyeball everything and/or set it up with levels, shoot groups to get it sighted with target tips, then screw on the broadheads and dial it in.

For my target only bows its a combination of paper then walk back.

I guess my final answer is; There is no "just one method".

from what I've been told, the paper is the most concise...

Honestly? If you're getting good, consistent groups.....what difference does anything else make?

I left that out on purpose otherwise you would have the mechanicals and 2-blades and low profiles, etc, to differentiate from.

I chose barshaft because I can use that to tune at a distance and it gives me the feedback about my spine, also at a distance,that I like.

I should have asked for folks to describe why they would make the choice they would make.

Efficiency. If your bow is shooting your arrow correctly it is transferring the enrgy more efficiently. The arrow is flying more efficiently amd will have the best chance to do its' job, efficiently. Can untuned bows and arrows kill game? Sure, happens every year, butif the shot is less than good and the conditions are less than good I want my equipment functioning most efficiently because it will be more forgiving of my erros and bad conditions.

LOL of course not and there shouldn't be, but the poll is to find out which method you have the most faith/trust in.

Come on now, pick just one.

True, but that is why I walk back tune after I paper tune.
