Paper Tuning Tracking

Log paper tuning sessions digitally — tear patterns and adjustment tips, shot by shot

About This Format

  • Shoot through paper at 4-6 feet to read arrow flight
  • Tear shape reveals nock-high/low and left/right issues
  • Adjust rest position and nocking point to achieve bullet hole
  • Usually shot with fletched arrows; a bare shaft shows a larger tear
  • Foundation step before fine-tuning at distance

Why Use BowSmith

  • Tear pattern recorded for every shot, not just the last one
  • Guided adjustment suggestions based on tear pattern
  • Log each iteration to track tuning progress
  • Each session stays linked to the bow and arrow setup you tuned
  • Tear-pattern guide plus a guided new-bow setup workflow
