For you guys that paper tune, exactly what kind of paper do you use?

Anything thin, I use newspaper! Shawn

I buy roles of brown butcher paper and it works great. Gift wrap roles would also work, as will newspaper as written above.

What kind of device do you use to hold the paper? I have seen the PVC tubes built into a holder/stand, but is there anything a little simplier?

Jeff

The stand type is all I have ever seen. I made a stand out of 2x4's with a 2x4 frame. I drilled holes at the top and bottom of the frame to run wires thru in order to secure the paper.

Most bow shops have a frame and paper for their costumer use.

Let me add there has been some great post here, let's keep it coming. Feel free to throw in some fine tuning advise, like brace height adjustment, rest material, shelf material, type of string, different bow tiller, adding string silencers, and so on.

I'll tune to get a bare shaft on target hitting straight to a little weak. Then I'll confirm with the same weight field points and broadheads.

 Like LittleBen, I'll plug that combo into Stu's calc. That way I know what number to shoot for if I want to try different weight bh's, shafts or whatever.

what Bisch  does, newspaper.

Thanks for the help guys.

No problem Brother... It seems that a lot of the questions asked here could be answered by reading some of the post on here. I have never seen better suggestions as far as tuning woods and carbons.

I would really like for the paper shooters to add some detailed advise. The reason I ask, there are a lot of people that have no idea what paper tuning is. I am not qualified to give detailed instructions, or you would have already read them. Hint, hint Bisch...

It's my opinion you can't tune a bow with a computer. You need to shoot your bow to tune it. That said I use Adcock's method.
