You are totally backwards for an overspined setup(not trying to be an ass, just correcting u bc he did say his bareshaft was impacting left).

#1) by lowering the tip weight, you are strengthening the dymanic spine(flex amount) of the arrow.
#2) by shortening the shaft, you are again strengthening the spine by making the deflection of the arrow less(flex) which is again, making it stiffer.
#3) by lowering the DW u are creating less force on the arrow and bending it less(u want to flex it more) so that is not right.

A little confusion here, but do the exact opposite of kwilson's advice for the stiff spine.
