Paper tuning with a whisker biscut rest?
I wondering if it makes sense to paper tune my bow.
I have a left handed Hoyt Cyber Tec 02" w/ versa cam 65lbs.
29in Draw, 29in Carbo Express Terminator Hunter(6075) shafts
100grain Spitfire Mechanical.
I use a release aid.
I use a whisker biscut as a rest, Copper John Dead nuts sights.
Will the contact from the whisker biscut throw off the results because of contact with the fletching?
Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Laser Beam,
I too shoot a biscuit rest and have no problems tuning it. With your nock set the same position, your arrows will pass through the rest the same way every time. Search on this site for more information (type whisker biscuit in the term area) and you will find lots of products. The CAP web-page has lots of tips for tuning you rest also. You should be able to find plenty of information, as I did, from the people on this site. The biscuit is a great rest and is easy to tune. The biggest problem I had was that it was eating up my vanes, but some trimming took care of that. Good luck and good shooting.

Since I couldn' t improve nebuckhunter' s advice, wasn' t much left to do but jerk your chain some, Lazer Beam. By the way, I' m ambidextrous. Only do the important stuff, like shooting bows, right handed.
Anyway, welcome to the forum.

When I tuned my wacking basket I eyeballed the center shot and knock height(pressed for time).Arrows were flying great and grouping field points and broadheads out to 35 yards.Hell, I was slapping arrows together with 3 blade muzzy' s at 30 yds.I really did' nt see a need to go back and paper tune.Most of the time I will shoot thru paper when setting up a new bow just as a starting point.Just remember the goal is to get great arrow flight not necessarily a perfect hole in paper.
