Is 7 yards to close to tune an arrow?

[mutt]

Reason I'm asking is my garage is the only place I can shoot right now. I've had a 3 R archery tomahawk for a while but didn't know about arrow tuning. Most every shot is left of where I aim and would like to try some weaker arrows but not if it's in vain because I'm to close to the target.

From previous posts, 7 yards should be enough.  For arrows, not sure about tomahawks!

Thanks, yeah I usually zero my tomahawks at a hundred...lol

Is this for bare shaft tuning or fletched? I wouldn't have thought 7yds was far enough to tell much either way, though.

Inches ?  Throwing in the garage could be hard on the 'hawk if you miss or bounce!  I'm looking for a big round slab to set up a target - also got to fing my hawks, they are still in the boxes or other stuff in the shop, I think!

I am shooting fletched shafts, it's a 64" 53lb recurve and as close as I can measure it's about 1/8 left of centershot at the belly side of the handle

If the shaft is tail left in the target it is weak for a right handed shooter, if it is hitting straight in the target but just hitting left it is probably because the bow isn't center shot  , canting the bow a little will help. If you are holding the bow straight up and aiming down the shaft it will hit left if the bow isn't center shot.
