Default Paper tuning???'s . . . all over again. . .

It's winter here. No more big game hunting. So I go to the basement and start shooting my bow through paper. I'm not big on paper tuning as an important aspect of harvesting an animal, but I would like to tune my bow once so that I know the difference. And I'm always hopeful that achieving a bullet hole will eliminate my annual problem of "my field points don't hit where my broadheads do".

Capice?

I've been searching this forum and the entire web for answers and input. And I now am forced to bring up this old subject, "How do I get a bullet hole on paper?"
So those of you who do not think paper tuning is important, thanks but no thanks. I don't want to hear your story.

My shots were "tear right" as I understand it. (fletches and nock enter right of point) As much as 1.5"! I'm 6' from paper, and paper is 6' from target. 12' total.
Equipment: Reflex Super slam (set to max of 70#), All Original, Easton Axis ST's 400's cut to 27", mechanical release, right handed, 100 grain points, Whisker bisquit rest, string loop.
Anything there that would cause a problem?
I just read about "Most bow-risers, the center part of the bow which contains the grip, sight window and arrow shelf, that are produced on todays bows have been tapped for center-shot; there is a hole above the arrow shelf which indicates vertically where your arrow shaft should be at full draw." This is the first I ever heard of this. My arrows are not in the middle of this hole. They are slightly below (1/16") the hole at full draw.
I've moved my rest into the riser and back away from riser and no help.
I have shot a 29" Axis 400 arrow (weaker spine) and no help. I've used 100 and 125 FP's and no change.

Arrow spine too stiff? Not according to local pro shop and eastoncabela's charts.

So, what gives? Thanking you in advance . . .

Sorry this is all so long but the more info you have, the better your chances of understanding.
