RE: Paper Tuning
When paper tuning my bow I usually stand about 3yds from the paper.
The reason I shoot so close is because the farther you get away from the paper the more time your fletches have to correct any radical arrow movement.
Tune it at a close range of around 10 feet. When you get a bullet hole there move back to 20 and you should get the same results.
Shut up and shoot already.

RE: Paper Tuning
IMHO---Paper tuning is a step in the tune process. Start at about ten feet and shoot a shot. Back up a step and shoot a shot.
Do this until the "kick" is the worst,through paper. Tune from there.
Keep in mind this is a little bit of an appearance thing. It looks good, but it is not neccessarily the set up that will give you the best groups.

RE: Paper Tuning
thanks for your imput 1fastcam & bowpro.
i'm shooting bullet holes at 8 feet and have a very tight pattern at 20 yds. the only problem is my arrow is sitting on my rest with the point sloped down a 1/2 a bubble off center towards the bow. Is this properly tuned or is something wrong?

RE: Paper Tuning
Hi bowperson,
Don't have an answer to your question, but one of the best on-line sources of information, I've come across, on bow tuning, is at this site by O.L. Adcock. You may have already used this site.

Hope someone can supply you with a definitive answer to your problem.
Bowpro, like the idea of backing up till the "kick" is the worst,through paper. Tune from there" Sounds like a fine tuning technique.

RE: Paper Tuning
I am in agreement with "Fastcam & Bowpro" I start very close(2.5 to 3 yrds) then move back until I get a bad tear. Starting close can sometimes give you clues as to why your bow is set up strangly. If you get a bad tear at thee yrds, your arrow could be in a recovery point when it reaches the paper at longer distances. Also recheck (tiller and cam timing) if shooting a two cam bow. If you've checked everything and you're getting a got tear at short and long distance, happy shooting.
