RE: Broadhead tuning
I guess we will have to just disagree on this one. I find paper tuning to be very sensitive to changes in rest postion, hand postion, shooting form etc. Like I said though I use a combo of both, but I rarely have a bow that was properly paper tuned that won't shoot broadheads and field points to the same impact point, provided the arrows have enough fletch to control broadheads in the first place.

I was under the impression that most shops use paper tuning because they are limited in space. If you only have 15-20yds to shoot in it would be hard to walkback, group or even bareshaft tune with any effectiveness. Paper tuning IS easy but that does not mean it can't be effective if done correctly. No tuning method is effective if done incorrectly. If a shop only has the short range to work with better to papertune than nothing at all.

Yes, distance most definitely magnifies any tuning issues. One of the big reasons a person should learn to do these things for their self. Doing it ourselves we can takefine tuningto a level most shops can't approach.

I hate to say it but, most shops don't know squat about tuning!

And honestly, I don't get too picky anymore, because a compound is dynamic. I used to spend hours getting it perfect, and then after 500-700 shots, poundage might have creeped down, might be little out of time, etc.
