I think so. I don't know whether everyone finds this is the case, but for me having my gear properly tuned makes much more difference outdoors than in. And, archery is a sport based on consistent repetition of the same sequence of movements and actions; if tuning your button can remove one more variable from the mix, it might be worth doing. I think the key is to remember to tune for groups rather than only according to a diagram or list of possible reactions. Everyone's different, and so's their gear; you and your stuff may not respond in a way that fits with the tuning guide you're using. I find that tuning is mostly about changing one thing, checking the group and repeating the process until I come out with the setup that groups best.
