Here's the question: I'm sure you shot a 2" group on one occasion at 40 yards. But if I took a piece of 3/8" boiler plate, cut a 2" hole in it, and put it in front of your Block 4X4; how long would it take you to ruin a dozen arrows shooting at that hole at 40 yards? If the answer is "a really long time", you should be shooting in competition. National level competition.

I have shot plenty of 2" groups at 40 and 50 yards in my day,mostly when I was shooting several hundred arrows a week.BUT,even then all me groups would not be 2".
Not doubting you doing it,just not all the time.

RE: Paper Tuning Question for Left Handed Bow
While we're on the subject of tuning. Does anybody else think that paper tuning has kind of gone by wayside or at best just a start in the tuning process? I almost never use paper tuning anymore. I just set the center shot and start walk back tuning. I just don't see the need for paper tuning, or am I missing something?

I rarely use it myself. It's good for seeing if something is waay off from the get go, but after that you need step up to something more refined. It's for sure not the end of tuning.
