Paper Tuning Your Bow

Paper tuning is an additional step that can be taken to ensure that the bow is shooting accurately. It involves shooting an arrow through a sheet of paper and analyzing its hole pattern to determine any adjustments that need to be made.

To paper tune a compound bow, follow these steps:

1. Set up a large sheet of paper on a 3 ft from sturdy backstop.
2. Stand about six feet away from the paper and shoot an arrow through the center of the paper.
3. Examine the hole pattern in the paper. It should be a clean, round hole with no tears or frayed edges.
4. If the hole pattern shows that the arrow is flying straight, then no further adjustments are needed.
5. If the hole pattern shows that the arrow is flying to the left, then move the arrow rest to the right.
6. If the hole pattern shows that the arrow is flying to the right, then move the arrow rest to the left.
7. If the hole pattern shows that the arrow is flying low, then raise the nocking point.
8. If the hole pattern shows that the arrow is flying high, then lower the nocking point.
9. Repeat the process until the hole pattern shows that the arrow is flying straight.

By paper tuning the bow, archers can ensure that their bow is shooting accurately and consistently, further improving their overall accuracy and precision.
