Happy you got it figured out.

I didn't mean to sound snide with my comments. It's just that I have seen quite a number of folks go down a bad road with paper tuning, and was trying to head you off that trail.

I have a good friend who is quite an accomplished recurve & longbow shooter, BUT he is a convert over from the compound. I watched him completely go bonkers one time, and even start trying change up his finger hold on the string trying to get a bullet hole tear through the paper. He started shooting off his finger tips, and it completely ruined his shooting for a while. Once he started understanding what string roll & paradox meant to a finger shooter, he got back to normal fairly quickly. All this aggravation he suffered trying to get bullet holes in the paper when his arrows were already perfectly tuned.

Pat, that makes total sense. I never had good luck with paper tuning. The frustration doses not help the form. Thanks again for all ur help.

I shoot about 6-8 feet from the paper when paper tuning. You actually want to be closer than 15 feet if you are checking the spine of your arrows.

This is an excellent guide

I shoot bareshaft at my bag from 8 to 20 yds and watch the arrow flight, then shoot a fletched arrow and see if it is the same.  I don't like tuning........
