To further fine tune your setup, step back to twenty or thirty yards and repeat the above procedures. Small flight disturbances will show up better as you get farther from the target.

To begin paper tuning, set up a frame or rack with paper suspended from the frame. Position the frame far enough away from your backstop so the arrow can completely clear the paper. Stand about ten feet from the paper and make sure your arrow is level as it flies through the paper. Proceduresforcorrectingtheteararelistednexttoeachdiagram.
