Personally I havent had to tune a arrow or bolt in 3 years since I switched to SLICK TRICKS and NITRONS they fly perfect right out of the box ,,and kill dead as dead can be with a huge entrance and exit hole. TRy some and your delema is over

GA.crossbowhunt if you are using vented BH's should not be any tuning or very litte to do. Where you run in to trouble is with fixed two blade BH's, then you need to line up with your cock feather and use some good offset or helical fletch. This would give you the spin to help straighten up your flight, for tighter groups.

I am sure bstout or one of the others will give you some pointers on this matter....

Just my .25 cents....

As greywolf said, just get some slicktricks. I just got a crossbow about a month ago. I was wondering about tuning them myself. I put the 100 gr. slicktricks on there and they hit just like my field points. No tuning at all.
