Which kicks outside, the bare shaft?

The bare shaft kicks hard to the left. I can see it in flight and the angle at impact of the target

 

Those aren't conflicting. You're more likely to see slight arrow flight issues at greater distances.
Time to bareshaft tune at 30.

 

bare shaft out to 15-18-20yrds,,check next with target pt. and B.h,s you might find its all ya gotta do...if it is good,

shoot paper again and c what ya have for a tear. paper tears(bullet hole)might b helpfull and might not. Only time I play around with paper is if its cold out,rainy etc

 

I just got into archery and tuning this year, so take this with a grain of salt. I spent countless hours in the spring working on a perfect bullet hole and bare shaft flight prior to BH tuning. I’ve since found the most time efficient way for me to tune is go for a bullet hole with a bare shaft at about 10 feet. I do this in my basement so I can press and make corrections to yokes and cables. Once I get a satisfactory bullet hole (doesn’t have to be PERFECT) I go to the range and screw a BH on. I shoot first from 20, then 30, then 40, making corrections along the way if needed. I have tuned 3 bows this way and one was dead on, the other two only needed a rest adjustment of about 1/16” to 1/32”. However, these bows were tuned for whitetail hunters who limit their range to roughly 30 yards. If extending the range beyond 40 yards, this method may come up lacking.

 

Bare shaft tuning at 30 yards is a pain just about makes me want to throw bow across yard. If your bare shaft is flying good out to 10 yards just about anything that happens past that point is you. I am not good enough to bare shaft at 30 I am fine with that.If you are strictly hunting and you get good bare shaft at 10 yards there isn’t a broadhead out there that won’t shoot accurately for you. Also you got a bare shaft to tune at 10 yards a lot on here can’t get a fletched arrow to tune at 5 feet so great job keep it up.

 

I definitely don't agree that good bareshaft flight at 10 yards will lead to good bareshaft flight with all BHs. This may be the case for up to 30 yards or so, definitely within 20, definitely not the case for 50+ yards.

 

I Don’t doubt your bare shaft tuning at 30 yards leads to great broadhead flight. Shooting at angles and different positions is great practice. What I am saying is take your bow tuned for 30 yards with bareshaft take said bare shaft sit on the ground put target behind you on your strong side at 30 yards and shoot does the bare shaft hit perfect nope.So now its not tuned at 30 because of form.Now take your fletched arrow with a broadhead same position and shoot sounds like you shoot a lot so you probably hit bullseye and you can keep moving back with same results.What I am getting at is for a great hunting setup bare shaft tuning at 30 yards isn’t necessary nor does it mean a bow bareshaft tuned at 10 yards won’t get the same accuracy with broadheads.
