I didnt believe it either, but guess what, my groups didnt shrink until I bare shaft tested out to 20 yards. I`ve been tinkering around w/ it for a year & when I finally listened my groups shrank dramatically. As for paper tuning I agree that it is misleading.  I shot compounds for 25 years & worked in a shop for a few years. I could paper tune a bow for someone but they couldnt get it to. Happened all the time.  My personal bows were never paper tuned. Just lined the arrow up w/ the cams & sighted in. The nocking point was the more critical aspect of a compound. But bare shaft tuning does work. Mike

When you all bare shaft test do you get good arrow flight?

I've tried it and get some pretty ugly looking flight.

Closely reading O.L.'s method it appears that all that matters is the group location.  What matters is where the bare shaft hits when compared to the fletched group.  

What the bare shaft looks like in flight does not.

Is that correct?
