RE: A quick bow setup how-to...
Also, I just sold my Hooter Shooter. It sat around taking up space and collecting a lot of dust for about 5 years. Just like the EZE Eye, I rarely used it.

Yes, tuning/selecting arrows is one of the best uses for a Hooter Shooter. Even then, a well tuned bow is necessary to achieve good results even with this equipment. And, it is very time consuming and requires shooting at distances that most shops don't have available.

RE: A quick bow setup how-to...
I came across this from Norb Mullaney while reading in this month's Bowhunting World, and it reminded me of this thread...
"Prior to last year I always set up bows by eye, sighting the alignment of a nocked arrow with the plane of the string. This usually proved a good place to start because it didn't take a lot of fiddling from that point to obtain a good tune. However over the pasty year I have been using a clever little laser tool that takes all of the guesswork out of the process. Called the EZE-EYE, this device uses a rotating laser to check alignment over the full length of the arrow. I have found tht it's a great help in finding the ideal place to start the final tuning process."
Norb obviously tests many, many bows from different manufacturers in his evaluative role. I found it interesting that even in this capacity, he is finding this tool useful and beneficial!

Bump for a great thread...
Since the search function on this site leaves alot to be desired I was thumbing through the last SIXTY-SEVEN friggin' pages looking for a specific topic and came across this gem, used it to check the set-up my new bow. Maybe others would find this useful and didn't know or forgot it existed. Why isn't it a sticky??

I should also mention Greg, that you've caused me to decide to order all of the tools you mentioned.
I have $500 coming relatively soon from my dad and the sale of my grandmother's house that I had planned on spending on archery "stuff."
I think I'll just go ahead and set up my own little shop for myself with the money. Anything else you think that are "essential" things that should be included in an archery room, let me know. I don't have a press, but I think I might wait a bit for that piece of equipment.

Wow! An oldie but a goodie I haven't seen in a long time!
TFOX has got a thread at the top on walkback and group tuning, which is a fine compliment to finishing off the process.
If you don't paper tune , how do you fine tune after using the levels and lazer?
