Walk back tuning
 
Here are my last three arrows at 40 yrds with my 20 yrd pin.This was my final rest adjustment,the wind was quite strong from the left but I don't think it had a great effect on my shots.
Do ya think I should check it again when the wind dies down?

If your arrows are hitting the center line at 40 yards in a decent cross wind, I'd check it again later. You may find your sights are set up for hitting left by several inches.

"Grain of salt" factor: I shoot a relatively slow bow at 210fps, and large diameter arrows so I see some wind drift when it's blowing out there.
You may not see as much, but I'd check anyway. I'm the only one I've ever personally met that has intentionally shot with a cross wind to see the difference in POI.

Honestly, it would never occur to me to attempt tuning or even sighting in with so much as a mouse fart blowing things around, but that's justme. :D

Maybe it's the photo, but your target looks like it's not level. The black line needs to be perfectly vertical or your tuning will be off.

Yes you have a good point Bulzeye,and I think your on to something (checking poi in cross wind).I've never thought of that but think I will practice the same.As far as tuning in the wind,I don't get much time out( new baby)have to take advantage of any chances I get,not complaining:)

Straightarrow I'm quite sure thats just the pic,thanks to you both

well ijimmy looks like i have to get back out there on a calm day,putting bulzeye's poi/crosswind analyzing to confirm or dismiss whether or not the wind effected my arrows ,I was shooting 340 Axis (thin shafts) at a descent speed will post the results
