Leave it or keep tweaking?

Haven't shot my bow in a little bit and when I did seemed like my tune was a little off. Did a little work on cam sync and reset my nocking point to level with the berger hole. Shot through paper with a fletched and bare shaft. I got the tear level with both shafts but still had a little tail right tear. So off I went to the range and shot from 20, 40 and 60. Fletched arrows hit nice and vertical to a plumb bob I hung on the target. Then I shot a fletched shaft and a bare shaft a few times and had good results. Went out to 40 yards with fletched and bare shafts and consistently got this result, that center is a 2" dot. Sure they are not stacked right on top of each other but that's just my shooting.

Who would be satisfied with this result?

If those shots were at 40 yards I would be very happy with the results. The farther you shoot a bare shaft arrow the more variables you are intruding to the results specifically when shooting outside.

Go back to 50 and see if it spreads.

I think you are fine. I would accept that and move on to shooting fixed blades to double verify.

it's too easy for torque/form to effect bare shafts at 40 yards to worry about that little difference apart. 20 yards yes, 30 maybe, 40 you're done tuning that way imo.

Thanks for the input. Just goes to show you don't "have" to have a perfect bullet hole in paper to get good results down range. After my retune I was definitely getting better 6 arrow groups at 60 and 70 yards.

I'd be happy.

Looks good to me. Don't fix what ain't broke. Honestly at 40 yards that is better than a lot of archers can do.

You could put a broadhead on if you want, however I'm sure it would be money as well. Any further out with a bare shaft and you'll be chasing your tail and screw up the great tune you have already achieved.

I would walk away from that with a smile all day long.

This is a good idea of a guy that didn't go OCD on paper, and simply went to a more effective tuning method without wasting a bunch of time.

If you can do that a couple times I'd call it good!

Looks fine to me. Verify with a broadhead and call it good.

Arrows downrange tell the true story!

Had consistent results like this, shot the same at 40 yards 5-6 times then I stopped.
