Ok guys newbie here. I am getting ready to bare shaft tune my bow. I shoot wraps on my arrows do I put one on my shaft to tune or just tune without it. Does it make a difference or not. I have always bare shaft tune without one with my compounds. Thanks for any help.

I put a wrap on my bareshaft. It adds a very little weight, and it helps you see what’s going on

The only difference between the fletched and bare shafts should be the feathers. One with and one without would destroy the whole tuning process.

'IT' meaning the rap. If you have it on the fletched you need it on the bare - 'the only difference is the feathers'.
If you want to get technical, the best thing to do is cut the barbulets off the feathers leaving the base.

I agree with Todd, that’s even better. Then once turned, I keep that in my quiver, and use it as my coach. Meaning shooting that arrow, mixed in with shooting my regular arrows, tells me if something is “off”
Thanks Ken Beck. He has an excellent video on this, found on YouTube I believe

I always have my wraps on when i tune. Weight added to the back of the arrow affects tune. I will sometimes take several days to get to final tune and always keep a bareshaft in the group to double check equipment tune and form/release issues. I like to finish my tuning w bareshaft just a bit weak.
On a side note, i have recently been playing w some arrows that are not in tune according to the bareshaft BUT, when i put a big broadhead on and wet the feathers down they fly very well. I still believe in bareshafting, but these recent revelations are interesting.

Make everything the same except the fletching. Even though something simple might not make a difference why take a chance. Always keep that bare shaft with you and shoot it once tuned. If I ever change anything on my set up I always check tune.

To be brutally honest there aren't that many people who can shoot consistently enough to tell the difference between a shaft with a wrap, and one without. And that includes me. But do which ever makes you feel the most confident.

I can tell the difference in bareshaft wrap vs no wrap. Finished arrows w feathers--- not so much.

Just went thru this again last week. Yes, feathers should be only difference between the two. Also, make sure your string silencers are in good shape - they effect tuning. I was surprised just how much. Same with bow mounted quiver if you shoot one.

I like bare shaft tuning, and will spend days shooting bare shafts before fletching. If your shafts aren't spine indicated, make sure you nock the shaft the same way. And if you're getting bad bare shaft flight, spend a lil time turning your nocks before changing tip or insert weight.

How can turning ur nocks help? Turn all you want but the shaft is the same diameter.

Baby you missed his point. Get a spine tester and you'll see that carbons happen to have a stiff spot. Meaning the spine is not the same when the arrow is turned 360.
Frank, I agree that most couldn't the with or without, I know I couldn't if I shot like the average guy. I don't mean I'm better, but most of my shooting is done with a bare shaft. If I tuned with out a wrap and then added a wrap I'd get some nock kick with the bare shaft. Fletched I wouldn't notice the differece AND that's the point of shooting bare shafts - if there's a mistake you know it's you.
Realizing I'm on the LW I have to include that a person has to have a solid anchor and release to even get a bare shaft to fly perfect.
Buglmin, I totally agree, but if you started out just shooting a bare shaft to get to where you are it could take a long long time. Tune for impacts and then shoot the bare and twist or untwist the string for perfect flight.

If you know what you're doing, bare shaft tuning is fun and not stressful at all.

TJ if you don’t like it, that’s ok. I personally think there is a lot gained in doing it, and always want to encourage anybody who wants to put the effort in.
