Download the tuning guide and read it....utilize it....learn to love it!
You can make a somewhat ok spin tester by cutting two identical "V" notches in a carboard shoe box and laying the arrow in the notches and spinning it with the tip very near to a fixed point to see the wobble. I like to spin the arrow on my finger tip to feel the wobble, but that doesn't help you fix it...just let's you know it wobbles. Of course, this isn't a real good idea with cut-to-tip heads!

Then just type in www.eastonarchery.com and look for the links to find their maintencance and tuning guide. Tells you all your need to know and a whole lot more detail and plainer than we can do here.

The problem is I can't download it. Can you guys just give me the types of tuning, IE paper tuning and spin testing, so I can look it up and see how to do it. I don't know what I need to do. Thanks

I don't know why you can't download it. Adobe is a free download if you don't have it. The file is rather large, so if you don't have High Speed Internet it will take a bit to download, but it's worth it. The file it 1.54Mb....I can email it to you if you like.
