Title: Paper Tuning Question
Post by: mallard79 on May 09, 2011, 09:35:32 PM: This might be a stupid question but......Is it possible or normal to have a bow shoot two different arrow setups the same or should the shoot differently?

I was paper tuning some new arrows with 125 grain field tips and out of curiosity decided to shoot a different arrow setup with 100 grainers. They seemed to shoot the same but i only shot a couple arrows.

I am still learning to tune and just assumed they should be reasonably close but noticeable. My arrows are REALLY close to the same. What do the pros say?

Thanks :dunno:

You'll get a bit more FOC with the 125gr tip and notice a little more drop at longer yardages but both should shoot very similar.
