I just bough a Great Plains Kiowa recurve it is a left handed 45#@28", brace height set at 8.5" my draw is 27". My arrows are POC, 51lb spine, 100 grain field tip, total weight is 410 grain.

I started with knock  at center plus 1/8" then moved it around with no results. Can you tell me what I did wrong?   :banghead:  

The pictures show the results. The large tears were shot from 6 ft. The smallest were from 20 ft. You can see a couple of perfect entries from 20 ft.

As we get older our bow weight goes down and our body weight goes up, One of Lifes little jokes.

I would extend a word of cation in paper tuning.  Be very cognizant of your release. If it changes so does your tare.  

If you are seeing no change when ou move your knock I would think you may be to close to the paper. You should be 6-10 feet.

I use both bare shaft and paper tuning.

Everybody tells you a different distance for papertuning. I wat taught to do it at 6 feet. I thought it over and imagined how an arrow flies. Fishtailing all the way. And at a certain momnet you have a bullet hole. In your case at 20 feet. I should try to go furhter and see what happens.

For this reason I prefer bare-shafting. But that has his problems to.

These days I shoot an arrow at 50 yards. I judge the flight and if I can repeatidly hit the target, it's all-right with me!
