Glad you got it tuned....most people won't bother with bareshaft tuning because it is an absolute pain in the rear and practically impossible to do with a compound and is completely overkill as far as tuning goes. What little you gain in going through all that trouble you will sacrifice in human error�unless your last name is Beaubouef or Morgan. You're lucky he messed with it, because most won't for a variety of reasons, and if they do it is very expense ($40-$75 per hour). A recurve bow, Olympic or Traditional style,.....that is completely different and the start of this "bareshaft tuning" phase�and it needs to stay with them.

I keep a bare shaft in my quiver and shoot it almost every end or group. Form is so critical when shooting a bare shaft as you know.
If I can group a bare shaft with fletched at 20 yards, I'm 100% confident my bow is tuned. Also I believe i can screw on any broadhead and it will hit very close if not exactly with field points.

I don't think bare shaft tuning is that big of a deal. Once you get paper tuned I start at 10 yards with bare shaft. Just little tweaks with the rest and it will group. Go back to 20 yards and make any further tweaks if needed. I got my new strings Friday afternoon and had it bare shaft tuned at 20 yards in two sessions.
I do agree it's not necessary but I like the instant feedback from shooting a bare shaft. I don't have a paper tuning rack so it's a quick method to check tune without having to run to the bow shop.
