Been getting my bow tuned up, I think I getting close, here's the last 5 I shot at 30 yards and I was a little high, but still shooting good

You shoot a release? Have you paper tuned it yet? Group looks tight except "that one"

What's paper tuned?,but yes I use a release and still fine tuning the release on it as well My bow is compound, but has no let off, so I'm holding all the weight and that was the last one, my brother got a bad *** bow with 75 percent let off and he said he not in shape to be able to shoot mine, I need to find me a better bow.

You shoot this one 15 times, trying to hold a tight group and your shoulders know it.

Now I going to go take a few steps back to 35 yards and see if I can still hold a tight group and should be lower

paper tuning is done with broad heads... you stand at like 20 yards and between you and the target you put up a piece of paper on a stand so it wont move... you shot at the paper and when it goes through your looking for how straight the arrow flew with the broad head. you will be looking at the hole and it will tell you (with a little commonsense) if the arrow is straight or not....

Paper tuning is also used to tune the limbs. Also, if you're shooting right handed try getting your fletchings in the opposite helicle so the arrow "spins out of the bow".

Paper tuning should also be done with target points . You should paper tune it anytime you change something . i.e. arrow type, weight, or tips.

You might think I'm strange but I'm shooting a left handed bow right handed, my Uncle sent it down for my nephew 10 years back and he was to young for it then, so I got it tuned up new strings put on it for him and was shooting it now and again just to keep a hand in.

Then when he got old enough he said he got use to shooting right handed so didn't want it, besides he could his Dad's older one, so I kept it and just started shooting it again after 3 years, because I was helping my Cousin rebuild a burn out on his second floor and we were shooting to take a break, I was down to 3 arrows fletched, so had to buy a EZ Fletch right helical tool and put on right hand QuikSpins.

Then started shooting a few times when I get home and most the time in the dark, seems like a nut out shooting a bow at 12 am keeps the ones you don't want around, away even when your not here.

Here's my night course, it in between the houses and I got a heavy tree bush that stops one safe if I go wild, but being in Florida, night is a good time to practice.

It fun as you can do it about anywhere, it's so hard to find a place to shoot anymore if you can find the ammo in Florida, and I don't care much for shooting indoors, I guess I just got use to sweat running in my eyes while shooting.
