I read articles on paper tuning but never really get around to doing it, is that a good place to start?

Thats a great place to start, a pro shop can only tune YOUR BOW only so much as every ones grip,stance,anchor,release, so on is different. You have to make time to tune the bow to your shooting style, if you bow hunt you owe it to the game you hunt, as a perfictly tuned arrow will fly true and have better penitration than one that flys wonkey{ good tech term}
If your able to get some coaching as well or even some one thats been doing archery for awhile to help you out.Balancing the limbs may work for Wayne but you might be a 1/4 turn top or 1/2 turn bottom, Robert Ragsdale has some good articles on tiller tuning.
