Paper tuning advice?

[Emerald Archer]

That actually helps a lot to know McDave. I was wondering if I could cut them cut and just tune based upon spine and point weight.

Your help is tremendous!

Your pic above shows a bunch of holes, you said you have different spines. Does one spine produce a better hole than the other spines? I would start with those and different point weights.

I also shoot a 40# Sage and shoot the arrows below. I'm self-taught and after all these years, I can tune, and they match Stu's Calc. My nock point is set at 5/8". This gives me about a 3/4 inch vertical on paper, but going up or down increases the cut, so it stays. My bareshafts also hit where these hit. My philosophy of paper tuning is I use for basic settings to "get close", then go to bareshaft, then to broadhead tuning.
