Paper tuning, bareshaft tuning, walk back tuning and group tuning. All of these should be done after laser tuning (if laser tuning is just setting up center shot and a level arrow).

What do you guys think about the laser tuning? Is it equal to paper tuning?? My pro shop says it is.

Well I told him that you guys would say that paper tuning is always best, he said he still didn't think it was necessary, but he would paper tune it with me if I like.

It's a checks and balancing system. Laser and level will give you perfect center shot and a level arrow. Sometimes that's all that is needed IF the shooter has good form, there are no other bow issues etc.
My Allegiance, that's all I did was level and laser tune it, no paper, etc and it shoots perfect darts and has all broadheads I put through it hitting with fieldpoints.
BUT, I got lucky. Paper will show you inconsistancies in a shooters form such as torque, arrow spine issues for just some examples.
Again, all the tuning methods will fix most issues. Some are not always needed.

I believe that laser tuningcan bevery good. It normally sets everything up so that the string will produce max force behind the arrow. The trick then would be to tune the arrow to the bow and not the bow to the arrow. That's how I'd do it anyway.

If it was a traditional bow I would have had to cut the arrows
