Is the Archer's Paradox governed by the angle of the arrow relative to the plane of thrust? If so, the distance between pile and string will rise with arrow length? If not, a really long arrow will be much closer to centre than a short one for the same pile-string distance.

How do you find the best centre shot using bareshafts? I thought it was only used to find the pressure of the button and the nocking point position.
Also, concerning the second point, Simon Needham's book "The art of repetition" actually has something on this and tells you to initially set it up depending on the arrow length (p59 for those who have a copy). For my arrow length of 27 and a bit inches, it aught to be the same setup mentioned in the AR, which is why I wasn't too sure about what the coach was saying.
On a little aside on tuning, my bareshafts are now impacting at an angle pointing to the left, but it landed in the middle of the group of 6 fletched arrows (with another bare shaft just below it pointing the same way). The fletched arrows were straight(ish) but grouped in the gold at 20yards. Would I be right in saying that if I performed this test at a larger distance the bareshafts will drift further left? And is there a fix for this? There are loads of theories but i can't seem to find a definite answer.
As to walkback tuning, I would try it, but that would involve having a range to myself and I think it isn't worth the hassle seeing as I doubt it's going to affect my groupings very much (hopefully
).
