RE: Walkback Tuning
are you using your 20 yard pin the whole time? you should be. once dialed in at 20, aim for a dot at the top as you increase your distance from the target. would you post all you info too, (draw, pounds, arrows, length, wt of tip).

RE: Walkback Tuning
First make sure your 2nd and 3rd axis on sight is correct. Then make sure your nock height is perfect.I do this with bare shaft tuning at closer ranges (5 through 20 yards).Then shoot at a horizontal piece of tape at 40 or 60 yards with fletched arrows. Try and get all arrows as close to horizontal tape as possible. Don't worry about left or right at that time.If all of that has been done and you get the same results as posted above, then move your arrow rest to the left (away fromriser)in very small increments. Keep doing the test until you get all arrows in a vertical line.

RE: Walkback Tuning
if, as you back up using your 20 yd pin, your arrrows just keep getting further and further right without ever making a move at all back to the center, i believe that is spine. you may need to take 1.5" off those arrows. if you're getting a bit of a ')' as you back up, then your rest needs to go to the left.
now if it was me, i'd take 1.5" off the arrows anyway. and then i'd start over - but if you don't want to do that, move your rest to the left a bit, resight in from 20, and start over.
the object of the game is to be able to hit a bull at 20, and as you back up, all your arrows fall in a vertical line under the bull you were aiming at. then you'll have your center shot.
i believe the spine is correct, but maybe at 29" they may be a little weak. i'm no spine guru though.
AND DON'T LISTEN TO DOTHEAD, do your left and rights first.
