my bows each decide which arrow and which point weight they like and that's the arrow and point weight that bow will shoot till the bow is sold, traded or dies, one bow with a skinny string just loves 300gr point weights on heavier spined arrows .

As others have said, you must have good form to get reliable feedback from bareshaft tuning.  You may want to work on developing good form and only then worry about tuning.

I personally think that most issues arise from release, grip, etc. if you are sometimes getting good flight from the same arrows then that is a good indicator. I continue to wrestle with this issue, I was getting false readings on my bareshafts due to my release. May not be your problem but if you know your spine should be correct for the bow then focus on other things a little.

you could paper tune (but with a form issue you still have problems)

Stop worrying about tuning.  

You can easily get close to what your bow needs with the info you have been given thus far.....then shoot and keep on shooting paying attention to details of form.  You need to study the basic essentials of becoming a good and consistent shooter. Its not rocket science but it is mandatory.

When you have learned and trained your body to work in concert with your eye (mind) according to the basic principals you can learn here, then see how it goes.  

Tradgang has a metric ton of good information / feedback at your disposal.  Embrace it!  

Enjoy the trip....things will start to gel eventually

Tony is spot on, I will add your required tune will change as your form develops. Right now just do your best to wear the bow out paying attention to grooving a solid consistent form.

Getting someone that knows form essentials to coach you might resolve much of your issues.  No short cuts in this area-- as ive said before, you cannot hope to get reliable information from a bareshaft until you have solid form and release.  I think this is what many others have offered also.

If you hit what youre looking at with broadheads you may be just fine.  Just enjoy-- although im a believer in bareshaft tuning, i don't think its something you have to do.

P.S.---there are many great shots that never bareshaft an arrow--a lot of guys that shoot woodies (myself included) don't bareshaft wood arrows.  Bareshafting is just one tool that you can use to check your form and tune.  If your fletched arrows with broadheads fly well and to the same spot as your field points and that happens to be where you are looking I'd be happy with the set up.

Are you shooting 3 under??? If you are you should be shooting a double arrow nock. Believe me, it eliminates alot of arrow flight problems.
