I think a little adjustment is needed. My $.02

RE: Bullet holes
I'll never understand the not concerned about paper tear theory.......especially if you are shooting broadheads. Why would you NOT want the tip in front of the tail as much as you can possibly tune?
I've seen guys spend 2 hours paper tuning their bows, only to walk-back and group tune afterwards. What sense did that 2 hours make? How can someone worry about was a tear in paper looks like and not care how the arrow performs in the field with a broadhead attached? If you do the field tuning, the paper tuning doesn't serve much purpose.
I find paper tuning to be most useful when testing cam syncronization on two cam bows or when looking to see how much an archer may be torquing a bow. When I set up a bow (by eye), I can almost guarantee it won't have more than a 1/2" tear, without any adjustments at all. This hold true as long as the shooter is not applying excess torque and the arrow spine is correct. In general, it'll be close enough to go straight to walk-back and group tuning. Tuning for that perfect paper tear, makes no sense to me.

I'm not sure paper tuning beyond ten or twelve feet is going to tell you much. It's the tears in the 4' to 6' range that seem to be most meaningful.
