Yep..exactly as Graps said, if you are in the ball park, and start up 7-10 yards away from the target and work your way back as you tune...you won't break the shaft. I cannot think of a time I've ever broken a woody bare shaft tuning....at least not from hitting too much sideways. I can think of a couple I broke from missing the whole target while tuning, and striking something solid! That only happened once or maybe twice. :oops:

I've read numerous times before how you can't tune wood shafts bare shaft method, from risk of breakage. When I read that, I instantly throw my head back and laugh. It must be a figment of my imagination that I've tuned dozen upon dozen upon dozen woodys bare shaft.... :lol:
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.
