Re: Bare shaft tune ?

Why even bother with bare shaft tuning? your hitting 10 inch targets out to 40 mtrs nothing wrong with that. Would be many on this site who would cut off there right arm to get groups like that. Just keep shooting arrows and the groups should stay, until you start tinkering with some thing like (ba...
