I have yet to fine tune but I just haven't studied it. I will be getting a press that way I can further my tuning.
Question; So right now I have my bow wt turned down. Off season shooting and low poundage for turkey this spring. I paper tune/walk back/French tune at this poundage. So late summer when I'm building up to my hunting wt am I going to have to do this all again?

I will be getting a press that way I can further my tuning.That document you posted the link to is really good for tuning, some of the equipment stuff may be a dated but the tuning principles are the same. I generally paper tune, short range tune and then broad head tune. I can usually get my broad heads and field points to hit the same spot but....if the groups start to open up for some reason in the process of broad head tuning I will move things back so the groups are tightest.You don't necessarily need a press...
Thanks guys that answered my question plus a lots of other good information that I had never considered, I have always been happy with just being able to hit a paper plate at 30 yards but now after reading through the information thanks Archery Junkie, will challenge myself to fine tune my equipment and becoming a better shot.
I am no archery expert by any means. I shoot a big box store bow. But at 30 yrds, if I couldn't group five arrows with in a softball, I wouldn't be bow hunting. A pie plate is fine while messing around with my buddies and we're target shooting 75 yrds in the wind. But I would go and have a archery master judge my shooting style.
