I don't quite understand about the left tear... Are you paper testing with bare shafts?

Just as a point of reference, you can cause an arrow to react stiffer by raising the bow's brace height. If you have extra arrow length, cutting off an inch will increase the arrow's spine by about 5 pounds.

Most of the tube type weighting systems add weight without affecting spine.

If you could give more info about your draw weight, draw length, arrow type and size, tip weight and release method, maybe someone can give you a better answer than I can.
