Default Tuned to perfection or not??

I was just wondering how many of you have close to perfectly tuned bows and do you tune them yourself?
My arrows fly pretty true with no fishtailing or dolphining but I sure it could be tweaked.

I’m certainly no tuning expert, but I do all my bow work myself, thanks to a lot of info gained over the years from here.

I feel my bow is pretty well tuned, being that I can shoot 125 gr thunderheads probably going 275-280 fps(which reminds me I should run them thru the chrono to get an exact number) with only 3” vanetec vanes to steer them.

x2 And for not having many of the "proper" tools I think my bow is as about as good as she'll get. My BHs fly exactly where my FPs do - no fishtailing, etc. Does it really need to be more tuned?

Perfection is mandatory at Poorguy's Archery.

I'm confident my bow is tuned "perfectly". Once I received my new string/cables; I got to business. My bow is set up exactly to factory specs. It maxes out at 70lbs, brace height and axle-axle are spot on, cams are timed and in synch, and whatever else I'm forgetting. Needless to say, my bow thinks BH's and FP's are one in the same.
