Paper tuning a compound bow

Paper tuning is the best way to ensure you are acheiving your best possible arrow flight. Many things can influence results, so lets make sure we eliminated the majority of them prior to beginning.

BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO PAPER TUNE YOUR BOW.............

1. Are you shooting the right draw length?
2. Are you shooting an arrow of proper spine?
3. Are you shooting with good form?
4. Has your arrow rest been set up properly and is not interfering with the fletchings of your arrows? ( if your fletchings show unusual wear, they may be coming into contact with your rest or cable during flight )
5. If shooting a solo cam, have you yoke tuned and checked the timing?
6. If shooting a two cam bow, have you checked the timing?
7. Is your bow to spec? ( set up at the suggested specifications set by the manufacturer; brace height, axle to axle measurement, etc..)

If you answered yes to all seven of those questions, we can move on, but if not....... revisit those specific links on this website to correct them. If you want paper tuning to be a rather pain free experience, it is best to eliminate all variables which we can control.

PAPER TUNING

Standing with your feet roughly eight feet from the paper, draw back and level out your arrow. Shoot the arrow with good form and study the results. If necessary, make adjustments and repeat paper tuning until you acheive the desired rip.
