•Paper Tuning -Continued
•Multidirectional Tear
This tear may signal:
•More than one problem with accessory adjustment.: Move nock
adjustment first until the tear is horizontal and follow instructions for
horizontal tear.
•Clearance Problem: See that the arrow has adequate fletching clearance.
•Wheels may be out of time: Check wheel timing.
•Irregular or inconsistent shooting form: See a qualified archery coach
or professional and have them check your technique.
•Perfect Hole
This pattern shows clean arrow flight. The point and fletching
impacted the same location. Your bow is now ready to shoot or you may want
to continue and try some of the super fine tuning methods.
•After Adjusting
After you have completed these steps and have achieved good paper test
results, it is best to try it at fifteen and twenty feet just to make sure you did not get a false
reading. A good rule to go by when paper tuning is to move your nock point or arrow rest
opposite the tear when using a release. In some rare cases if this does not clear up your tear
you may need to move your accessories in the same direction as the tear.
