Abstract
A special tuning point for archery arrows for use in tuning a bow, target shooting, and non-big game hunting has a weight approximately equal to a broadhead selected for use by an archer using and tuning the bow and has a balance point position ahead of the arrow shaft to which the point is secured approximately equal to that of the selected broadhead. The tuning point is secured to the forward end of an arrow shaft substantially identical to that used with the selected broadhead to form a tuning arrow. The tuning arrow is used in tuning the bow. In this manner, the bow is properly tuned for not only the tuning arrow, but also for the arrows with the selected broadhead.
