Default Any Ideas on my recurve?

I have a 50# dreamcatcher. I cannot get rid of a flipping or poipoising action no matter what I do. I have tried 4 arrow spines. 3 different point weights.

My draw is about 29". Probably less. I have tried 2016, 2018, and 2216. Point wieghts 125gr, 145gr, and 175gr. I have worked on this for over 2 months because after 20 arrows or so I get sloppy, and notice I start getting fish tailing and bad shooting. 2216 shows way too stiff.

I have tried bare shaft, paper, and broadhead tuning. No matter where I set the nocking point, I get flipping up action. There is a sweet spot about 1/2" over center from my riser bottom.

All my combos seem to be having fletching contact with the rest. So I guess I am not bending around the riser enough.

Only combo that even hinted to working well is 175gr tip and 30" 2016 arrow. But this makes no sense. Cause a 2016 30" arrow with 125gr tip is what I shoot on my longbow that is 50#. I would imagine a recurve needs much more spine.

One thing I notice, when I try to tune the Brian Sorrell way watching which way the nock goes on a bag target, I get perfect flight with 2016 with 145gr tip, and my 2018 with 175gr tip. I mean I am shooting at a bag bareshafted at 20 yards, and it shoots well and straight.Its just when I put feathers on, I see the flip. Also, my feathers are taking a beating closer to the riser.

I have tried a small leather rest. No backing plate, and now have a bear hair rest. Seems to have gotten worse with the bear hair.

I really don't want to go lighter in spine.
