I bought one of those centering tools. And when I do what it says it is quite a bit off. How important is finding the center with a drop away. I will paper tune with a bare shaft as soon I get close. My issue is in order to get my arrow and rest to line up properly I have to move my rest all the way in. I am now concerned that my blazers will contact the riser. Can someone explain or point me in the direction on proper centering and tuning to get my bow shooting right. Thanks!!!

Do a walk back tune to find the true center shot.

dump question how do you do a walk back tune? I am assuming you are talking about paper tune close and walk back to make sure it is on? Do I do this with a bare shaft or fletched? Please help

Walk back tuning is done with fletched arrows using only you 20 yard pin. Put a target as high on a target butt as you can . Shoot an arrow at 20 yards till you are dead center. I drop a line down from the top that is in the center of the spot to give me a true vertical line. Then step back to 30 yards and using your 20 yard pin shoot another arrow. Keep stepping back and shooting an arrow at that distance still just using your 20 yard pin. Keep going back and shooting an arrow till you run out of target butt to shoot into. If your arrows from each distance run straight up and down with the vertical line your center shot is good. If the arrows go off center as you go back like this / it means you will need to move your rest in slightly towards the riser if you are a right handed shooter. If they move like this \ the farther out you shoot it means you will have to move your rest out slightly . This is for a right handed shooter and if left handed you would do the opposite . Keep doing this till your arrows from 20 yards to as far back as you can shoot with your 20 yard pin line up vertically and you are set for your center shot.

Just a note.....
Yoke tune will affect both measured and dynamic centershot...

JAVI, I have used the yoke on my Prostring static yoke cables to adjust cam lean, is that what you are referring to?
I have not seen a reference to this before,

I have not seen a reference to this before,Dynamic CS is nothing more than string path... String path can be altered by limb tip deflection... (yoke)
