Very sad

[BT]

I was over at another site today and was shocked by what I saw there
People advising others to paper tune bows and worse
( I consider paper tuning to be the work of the devil)

There were alot of good questions from people wanting help but the only answers were coming from people who didn't have answers either
(although they thought they did)
My question is .... where are the moderators and where are the people who should be helping
This is a huge site!
Not AT mind you but plenty big and run by a well recognized name

I am simply blown away by it all and just have to get this off my chest before it bores a hole through me

My question is this....

What to do?
When you see something so blatantly wrong , do you call the manufacturer and complain or do you face the fire and try and turn the tide of ignorance yourself

when I was the Lone Ranger I ran into this problem often, it wasn't until I heard Tonto say " what do you mean we white man!!!!" did I know something was so blantantly wrong.. Stand up and fight the power dat be!!! You may lose the battle but guess what that object you just stood up too will have a new found repect for you and that my friend is the real win!!

You think so huh?
Maybe but I just cant get over the fact that management allows this to go on in their name.
They know better!
This is a bowhunting company in big part.

Now I understand
I cannot find anywhere on this site where you can contact anyone who needs contacting
Promotion rules supreme but devotion seems to take a real big back seat

I have the contact info. from last year and I'll be giving them a call Monday if I can.
We will see what if anything comes of it

you go !! you can do it!!

I threw a post up on the site to see what the mind set was.
Made it harsh to pull out the folks....hopefully

Heres whats going on so far .... one moderator trying to defend one practice and (IMO) trashing the folks ability potential who are members there.

I knew the minute I read the first post in this thread what forum it was. They think paper tuning is the end all..........that's why they aren't getting these kind of groups at 40 yards. White nock is Magnus stinger 4 blade from 40 yards. The other arrow is a field point. I should mention I had a crosswind which is why it is a hair left.

I just don't understand the reasoning behind that mind set
To coach a person into paper tuning is to coach that person into a world of frustration.
Paper tuning is so subjective to so many things it's a formula for failure to those who don't have a good handle on tuning

So here is a forum that gathers members by their name recognition (and hence many newbies are members) and what do they do?.....screw them right to the wall simply because paper tuning allows a visual explanation rather than a verbal

I am just so lost

Bowtech some people just aren't as hard core about tuning as others. I think maybe alot of those guys only shoot 20 yards or less.
