Forgot to include what I was shooting in the post;
82nd Airborne
60#, 28"
GT Pro 55/75 cut to 27.25"
Broadheads and field points are 100grns.
Both the nock end and insert end as well as the insert were squared with a G5 ASD.
I even went so far as to align my broadheads with my vanes.

I would think a .400 spine is a weak arrow out of that bow. I am willing to bet you need 340's. I have ontarget2 on my other computer. If someone doesn't check it for you first I will after I get home from work this evening.
I can't believe you didn't at least try shooting a stiffer arrow before going through all the trouble of switching rests and screwing with your cams [&:]

Weird. I had the same problem with my 06 Ally:

I bought an 82nd and it was a breeze to tune. Paper, walk-back, broadhead all good. I loved the Ally but the 82nd is more accurate and 60 lbs is a dream.I am shooting 27.5" mods with 5575 GT Pro Huntersand a Trophy Taker.
TFOX ran the spine it was close tobeing weak - but OK - so I stayed with 5575's because I have more of them. I have some 7595's thatpaper tuned great so Irecommend going to a stiffer (.340) arrow.

RE: Upset with 82nd...
I believe that you need a stiffer than typical shaft for the 82nd. I have my 82nd set at 64# and have the 27.5" mods on. I shoot the carbon express 250's and 350's. I figured out that I can barely shoot the 250's with a 100grn tip due to the fact that I have them cut to 25.75" long, so barely make it. With that said in paper tuning, I found the the 250s and 350s tune about the same, but I have the 350s cut to right around 26". I really believe that the 82nds shoot a stiffer spine better.
Good luck.
Good luck.

According to OT2, your actually stiff. I wouldn't trust OT2 numbers on an 82nd though due to previousexperience.
I would first check the tiller on the bow and make sure you are even there. Then powder test the arrow to just make 100% sure it's getting clearance. Once this is done, I would find a 35/55 and a 75/95 shaft to shoot through it and see what they do.
