Then the only "kick" one might expect (if the bow was set up for a different type shooter) would be a kick up or down?
I would assume side to side would indicate spine issues, correct???
Yep.
Also when you set your shelf material make sure you leave a gap or "trough" between the shelf pad and the strike plate or material you use (I use seal for both)
Then index your nocks so the shelf feather tip slides into and through this trough.
Its easier on the contact feather and seems to provide cleaner arrow flight.
