The problem with paper testing a recurve is that you will always have the archer's paradox which will bend the arrow horizontally and the arrow will keep bending until it hits the target. Subsequently, the only way to get a bullet hole in the paper is to position the paper at the correct distance so that when the arrow hits the paper, the paradox is in it's "straight" position, ie the arrow is straight, not bent. Even then, you might get a small tear. But either case, you can see that the paper test doesn't produce any real results as all you did was move your distance or adjust your bow to that distance.

Bare shafts work best in short.
