IMO walk back tuning is more practical. And it can save you a potential headache.

RE: bare shaft tuning
when you bareshaft tune make very very minor adjustments or you'll be cussing the idea of bareshaft tuning. I use it as my fine tuning before i shoot broadheads. Once i bareshaft tuned, my broadheads were dead on out to 55 yrds....needless to say i didnt have to "broadhead" tune, or walkback tune. Eastons guide is what i use.

I myself like papertune to make sure everything is lined up and maybe bareshaft to check for spine, and broadhead tune for fine tuning for spine. |

Go to the traditional forum and youll get more answers , bareshaft works for traditional gear , and thats what it is listed under in eastons tuneing guide . There are better methods for compound/release archers IMO
bigcountry Its better to be weak than stiff |

RE: bare shaft tuning
Using bare shaft tuning to check for spine works well with finger shooters, be it compound or traditional. However it doesn't work that well for release shooters. Not that it won't tell you if your spine is off, it just won't give diffinitive answers like it will with fingers.
I use it to make sure my rest is line up the best it can be. Honestly though if you are going to shoot fixed blades just start with broad head tuning. Why bother with paper tuning and/or bareshaft tuning if you are just going to end up tuning for broad heads anyway. Because if your spine isn't pretty close you will just end up adjusting it again anyway. I agree for fixed blades you are usually better off with a bit stiffer spine. However for target shooting I have found a bit lighter spine than what you would use with hunting rig is a bit more accurate. Paul |

I have looked at several revisions of my easton guides and others, and never saw where its listed only as a traditonal tuning tool. And I shoot traditional. |
RE: bare shaft tuning
So what is the best way to broadhead tune? The only tuning process that i am familiar with is paper tuning...
