tuning question

Should you be able to shoot a bullet hole through paper at any distance once your bow is correctly tuned? I can shoot a bullet hole consistently at closer ranges but when I move back I have problems. Can't figure out if I'm torqueing it or if the bow isn't tuned completely.
 
I get my bow to tune at about 15 to 20 feet and once you get that it should get a bullet hole just about anywhere. I have found many times I could get a bullet hole at 2 to 6 feet pretty easily but the farther back I got the worse it got. once you get past about25 to 30 feet it shoot easily shoot bullet holes because the vanes stabilize it by that point. So yes you should be able to shoot just about perfect bullet holes at all distances. If you end up not being able to get it to tune perfectly don't worry about it and start using your broadheads to tune it. When you get your broadheads on a little movement will go a long ways so be patient and work slowly. I usually shoot a couple of broadheads then my field points at the same target and tune it until you get them to hit in the same spot. just shoot your broadheads first so you don't slice up vanes with 3 or 4 arrows in the target. What bow are you having troubles with I may have some tips for you if you are still struggling.

Thanks for the help. I'll work with it some more and and then let you know if I have any other questions. The bow is a browning. The window is really narrow so it's tricky getting the fletchings to clear the riser without adjusting the rest too far to the opposite side.
 
When you tune your bow try and get it to tune with the arrow off center to the left if you are shooting right handed and right if you shoot left handed. This will give you more fletch clearance and keep your sight from tucking in behind your riser. I am not saying to jack t way out there but an 1/8 will do good.

Paper tune it like normal. Then broadhead tune it. That's how I do it. As long as the broadheads and fieldtips hit the same spot you're golden.
