if there are no other variables then you are torquing/not torqueing the bow compared to before. this will give you achange in bare shaft and paper tune (although i cant work out why anyone would paper tune a recurve, compound yes but recurve no.
I am not shooting the bow I am observing and I honestly believe that the archer is not torquing the bow as it is my son and I've been watching him shoot for four years now.

The symptom is consistent and repeatable and the adjustments made so far indicate that the arrows are stiff so I truly believe I am looking at an equipment issue... I just can't work it out.

As for the paper tune, I used to think the same way but I do feel that with a good archer coupled with patience and an understanding of what is going on improvements can be made. It certainly provides an indication of what is happening, but as I say it does require a very consistent archer. That said, I am looking for a solution to a problem that is vexing me and not looking to open a debate on the pros and cons of paper tuning.
