I'm going to try the bare shaft shooting tonight, and I was thinking about taking a turn off the limbs and see if that improves the tear too. Should tell me the same thing. If the bare shafts shoot left, and the tear goes away at lower draw weight it's too weak. Easton is convinced I'm underspined. It sucks that the next closest arrows with the stiffer spines are almost 2 gr. per inch heavier, I'd hate to lose any more speed, it's only shooting 260 fps now, and the a/c/c's are too expensive for my wallet.
