For the past few years I have always made sure my arrows were pretty well tuned. I made sure they put the broadhead right in there with my field points and the flight didn't look squirrely. Well the past few weeks I have really been trying to tune arrows for the new 250grain VPAs I had coming. I had been shooting different arrows and 175grain heads. I decided to do this right and bareshaft tune. I first tried to bareshaft my old set up and while it was close it really needed 125 grain heads, not 175's. I then took my new arrows and started cutting and shooting until they were flying perfect. Until then i didn't know how perfect a bareshaft could fly. At 25yds they were flying right where I was looking and not a hint of fish tailing or porpoising, sticking straight in the target and right with my fletched shaft.
After putting the 1 1/4" 250 grain VPA on a fletched shaft I was and still am amazed. i am shooting better than ever. Even with a less than perfect release the arrows are hitting dead on. After reading OL Adcocks method on tuning, i believe i have always been inside the adequate part of the bell curve but not at top, or best. Achieving the "best" flight has really made the difference and it should really show in hunting situations where a less than perfect release is likely.
