Just to say Hi
To start with. Hope time passes quickly for you guys till hunting season, hang in there and may this be a great hunting season!!
My wife’s got a bay shower on this weekend at my parent’s place. They’ve got some decent bushpig around so I decided to spend 4 nights hunting them. So yesterday I opted to rather use the walk back method rather than paper tuning basically just for fun.
After tuning my bow to perfection on the walk back method, just out of curiosity I did the paper tune anyway. Bullet holes + , 3, 5 and 10 yards. Is this normal?
Anyway, in case you wondered, it is our own baby shower, firstborn (sun) due 5th October.

RE: Just to say Hi
Congratulations on the soon to be new addition to your family. The wife and I are about to try and have our second. 
As for the methods you described...in many cases I have found that this can be the case. Some bows will paper tune very well but then won't "respond" well to other tuning methods without throwing off the paper tune. Some are just the opposite...but in many cases you should be able to get everything to click.

RE: Just to say Hi
Thanks to you all.
I’m SOOO looking forward to being a dad. Everything’s going OK according to the gynecologist. Soon I’ll have another hunting buddy.
I’m also extremely exited about this bushpig hunt. This is normally done by night using a read light with a rheostat. U sit downwind and wait for them to enter the orchard; I’ll be hunting in old macadamias. As soon as they start feeding (clearly hearable at night) u start you stalk. Lovely exiting stuff! Difficult and dangerous though.
Thanks once again.
