I start with a bare shaft, but end with a broached tune, as I have found even with a good bare shaft tune Broadheads, (including mechs) will often have a slightly different poi. At the end of the day I am shooting the animal with a broad head so where that hits is more important to me than anything else.

Bare shaft but with wraps of tape to compensate for the weight of the fletching. I also Ike electrical connection shrink tube. Old wives tale. Tape isn't needed. That's over 1k bows tuned.

Walk back tuning is something I think more folks should do. I never hear or see that emphasized. I do that and do not bare shaft or paper tune. I depend upon my groupings. If something doesn't seem to let me group well, I go to a professional. Walk back tuning? Why? A bow is a machine. It' has a "sweet spot". Bareshaft tuning done the right way(no paper involved) will provide you the absolute best tune setting for your bow. If you start having right/left issues at distance, go back to 20yds and reverify tune. Past that, it's YOU. NOT the bow. Done this tuning stuff over 20yrs. Have tuned bows for several members here. Including Rick Bin and JJ Hack. Well over 1k bows set up and tuned. I never need to walk back or group or broadhead tune once I'm done.

Paper tune, then put a broadhead on and tune the bow to shoot properly with a fixed blade broadhead to achieve the same POI as a field point…
No reason to do anything else
Hunt...

Bare shaft paper tune first.
Check again after fletching.
