Default Tune / arrow selection for a General

I just bought a 60# Bowtech general.

It is set up @ 58# and a 27" draw length with a whisker biscuit rest. Arrow speed is 253.

The arrows are Maxima 250 cut @ 27" with blazer fletching and 100 gr tips.

The bow was then paper tuned, but this is why I"™m worried, the nock was tearing to the left. They moved the rest in that direction eliminating the left hand tears in the paper. Now the arrow is not aligned evenly with the center of the bow. If you look down across the limb bolts the arrows is at least an arrow width left of center line. Do I need a lighter shaft or is this normal set up?

Thanks for any help.

Don't put too much confidence in paper tuning. It is very easy to get false readings.Walk back and bare shaft tune, and enjoy the Great sport of Archery. The Maxima 250's should be perfect for your 60# General.
