How to Paper Tune a Bow Without Moving the Arrowrest

[elliotswan]

I've been waiting for someone to make a video explaining paper tuning with cams for a lifetime. Thank you MFJJ.

Working on my new Phase 4 29”. Bought the tophat kit from you. I had a point left tear. Switched the existing tophats, still a 1/4 - 5/16ths tear. Now I’ll go with the next larger set to move that cam more to the right. Appreciate your simple tutorials. Hunting season starts here in Oregon on Sept 2. 🤪. Got a late start with my bow since the bow with all the accessories was a gift from my son who bought the same bow. My kids like me

This is precisely why I’m shooting Bowtech this year. Such an easy bow to tune!
Thanks for the Video Josh Jones

Josh, thank you --- great vid. I always learn when reviewing your content! I like working on my own stuff and your help is greatly appreciated!

I was struggling to get the right tune on my Bowtech SS34 and Rekoning by moving the rest - followed this and in a half turn on each set of cams and now getting a perfect bullet hole. Thank you!!!

You're a GENIUS!! This is why I always look forward to watching your videos, you're always so informative!

[johnsmith]

Why do I see paper tuning all over the internets but as soon as you step in a shop they look at you like you’re wasting everyone’s time.

This is super simple. Does not matter if you are right or left handed. Move the cams the direction of the tail tear. Done.

2/3's of everything I have learend is from Josh on bow setup and tuning. Thanks again the information is extremely valuable!!!

[michaelswenson]

Great info as usual. One note, if you have a bow that uses shims/top hats you might find that you are between sizes and have to move the rest ever so slightly to get that bullet hole with a bare shaft. Just a couple clicks on a micro adjustable, I can barely see it move with my naked eye on the Epsilon but it affects flight.

Josh,
I know you made a grip video. But you need to do another. Maybe more In depth. Take a guy who has a bad grip. Shooting through paper, work with him on camera and show how much the grip effects tuning. It is so huge and such an underestimated point! It’s the biggest key to all this. The grip needs to be buttoned up even before one tries to tune and shoot through paper. It’s such a key element and it’s not gone over enough.

[adamryerson]

Thank you for this and more. I ended up needing to learn this on my own through trial and error.

Keep these awesome short videos coming! Thanks!!!

[chriswarfield]

Keep it up!!! I really enjoy the content you put out. It has been informative and helpful.

Hey Josh. Been a fan for a while now but haven’t gotten to all of your videos. I may have missed it but I think I’m not the only one who would love a video of a start to finish full setup and how to do it all. (Bow selection and build, tuning, arrow selection and build, etc) if u already have one I apologize. Thanks

So I have an Elite omnia and had right tears (point left). I had that bow all jacked up. Finally just swallowed my pride and took it to the bow shop. Just to find out I was torquing my bow....yeah that just to find out I need to work more on me than my bow lol. $60/labor lesson learned. But now I'm hitting dimes @ 80yds. Ok maybe not every time but once in a session at least. Thanks for all the helpful videos Josh. They are a real help for me since I just got back into bow hunting last year after almost 30 yrs.

Making tuning look easy! Keep the videos coming. You might want to mention that all other things need to be right before this step, like bow specs, timing, and arrow spine.

More quality info for the average Joe to learn to work on their own equipment. Much appreciated. Quality shops are few and far between. Learn to work on your own stuff.

Great video and I agree that moving the CAMs is much better than moving the rest. It will make your bow shoot better and be more forgiving. Only move the rest for micro adjustments. Never more than 1/16" out from recommended center shot in either direction.

I do wish you would say cam lean instead of wheel lean. Wheel bows are a thing of the past. I guess there are still some single cams with idler wheels but very few.

One more suggestion, I think you may confuse people when you say point right or left instead of nock right or left. You are the only person I've ever heard talk about point direction or wheel lean.

Thank you for sharing this great information 👍
