Default Anyone paper tune 20 yards and beyond?

Well, some of you may know that I attempted to broadhead tunethe other day. I got my bow out of whack but now I think it is back to where it was. Anyway, I was at the range and thought I'd shoot thru paper at 20 and 30 yards. I had good tearsat both yardages.

I was just wondering if anyone else has done this and do you think it is necessary. I was thinking that it may come out the bow great but may get a wobble at those longer distances.

The benefit of paper tuning at close range is debatable. At long distances, it's completely worthless.

I agree.
Once your done tuning it is fun though if you have paper left to step back & shoot bullets 5 yards backat a time. You should get perfect tears since the fletching will have stabilized the arrow and have it spiraling towards the target.
You would probably still get good tears out of whacked set-up do to the fletching doing it's job at further distances.

BROADHEAD tuning at long distance is a great idea on the other hand.
