ADVICE!!! I got myself in a pickle.

I would just shoot a few bare shafts along with fletched at 20 yards and see how it does. Give you an idea where to start. IMO a fletched arrow through paper doesn't really tell you a whole lot.

I'm going to totally disagree with you there. Paper is the best way to set your nock height as well as center shot imho. It will not only show you that but it can also show you flaws in your grip and release as well if you know what you're looking at.

I don't have anything against paper tuning, I just think you can have a bow pretty out of tune and still have it shoot bullets. Jmo.

I don't disagree with that but the same can be said for any tuning method really. I don't think paper is the end all be all of tuning but it in my opinion gives the shooter the best "feed back" on what the bow is doing as long as you know how to read the tears.

Why not just sell the arrows and buy another dozen and cut them 1/4 inch longer. Then there is nothing to worry about. I would think losing 40-50$ selling the arrows and buying new ones would be a heck of a lot cheaper than screwing up a hunt you have spent lots if time and money on.

I bumped my rest over 1/8 of an inch and all good to go now. Still shooting good groups. Crisis averted.

Nearly every binary cam bow I have tuned has been outside of center. Something with the tune sounds off if you are that far inside.

Second this. Most are 3/4 yo 7/8 plus and after tuning often more than that. The fact you tuned so far inside could mean a) it wasn't perfectly tuned or b) you may have some spine issues to deal with.... especially if you get the chance to shoot longer arrows when you can afford them. Don't let the cost of changing cost you an animal... those will sell on a.t. in a day so you can recoup your costs.

+1 OregonArcher. Paper is an AWESOME start to building a great setup and tuning YOURSELF as we'll as the bow. Example I started with paper this year dialed out to 100 with field points and then threw a Broadhead on for 60 and shot 4" low.

My nock point was higher than I thought initially through me playing too much ;-) I brought it back down re-tuned re-sighted in at 40 double checked Broadhead at 40 ( same impact) then stepped back to 90 with my Broadhead and shot this....
