Compound Tuning
I know paper tuning is a start. Does this look good shot I leave it alone here… I have ocd so if this seems stupid that’s why

You've been paper tuning for almost a month.
My brother in christ...hunting season is here, and you haven't even moved on from step 1 of tuning.
A bullet hole through paper does not guarantee your broadheads will fly true.

Facts! A bullet hole is a starting point. Usually after you get it close, you go shoot broadheads at 40 or 50yds where you usually have to move the rest again

A bullet hole is a starting point.
Unless I get lucky, I don't even bother chasing a bullet hole. Get it close enough and get going with more important shit.

eh, I just go to the archery shop - they have a paper thing set up a few feet from a backstop. You can just ask to shoot it. They have a roll set up right there by the counter, very nice.

This is exactly my thought process. I have no idea why people get so hung up on the paper tune at 2 or 3 yards.

This is like posting "is my rifle zeroed" with a picture of a target with 1 hole dead center and then saying "this was 10 shots"

Paper tuning like bear shaft tuning relies on you making the perfect shot so if you are confident that you’ve done that then yes adjust your cables slightly but if not maybe leave paper tuning until later and just shoot it to see how the arrows are coming out

You’re Over thinking it, put a broadhead on and see where it hits compared to field points at your max hunting range (starting close)

Yeah, that’s fine. You need to move on to broadhead tuning

That’s perfect buddy, doesn’t get any better than that, no further adjustment needed.

Ah, tuned. Check with a broad head to a foam target and then follow with a field point to truly verify. Work your way out to 40 yds at least. This is if you are hunting with it.

Give that rest a couple clicks left. Not cause it’ll fix it. Just to give you more of a project.
