arrow tuning distance

[goingoldskool]

Is 8-10 yards far enough to see if arrows are too stiff/weak? With the weather/wind whipping, I have to shoot in the basement....

thanks,

Its a good starting distance. You can get a good understanding of what the arrow needs.

Like AZ said it's a good starting distance, but the further out you get the more you will see. I end up at 25 yards bareshaft, and 30-35 yards with a flecthed shaft and a broadhead. That broadhead will really tell the story.

Cool, Thanks!

I can only to a distance of about 17 yds. past that and I may not even hit the target.

Tuning doesn't matter much when you can't shoot!

Just kidding!  

Sounds like you need my 20 yard range in my basement!

Actually, paper tuning will tell you exactly what is going on with only a few yards.  Set your paper at about 6 FEET, and the catch target far enuf back so the arrow fully clears the paper.  8-10 yds is plenty for sorking on form.

For preliminary tuning I am quite content with the results I get in my basement at about 12 to 15 feet...I simply confirm that later when I can shoot at longer range...very seldom do my short range findings change appreciably

Here is a good reference, you can't go wrong if you follow Paul's advice.
