It's a good idea for sure.

Knowing that when hunting, for whatever reason, I draw a little shorter...I leave my bareshafts just a hair weak to compensate for the shorter draw. It brings me right back into the 'sweet' spot when I draw shorter.

If by chance I get to a full draw (more likely in the early archery season with less clothing) I'm still fine as the feathers correct the small amount of mis-tune. I'm talking about adjusting the shaft to just very slightly weak....nothing drastic.

It's a fact that I short draw just a little bit when I'm hunting (and normally as well for that matter). Between bulky clothes and/or the residual effect of a recovering TP'r...its going to happen.

To allow for that certainity, I just leave my bareshafts a hair weak. No big deal if I get to full draw as the mis-tune is so slight the feathers correct the weakness and the arrow still flies perfect .
