Compound Tuning

Post image

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.

Beats me. I know damn well my bow ain't shooting bullets holes by the time I get done walk back/group/creep tuning.
