Are you shooting a damaged or bent aluminum arrows for your tests?
How about you draw length modules are they both set the same?
What point weight are you shooting also vanes or feathers?

I'd suggest switching to 125 gn points. That's the easy part. Then, the more difficult part... Learn to keep your bowhand relaxed during the release. Sounds like you're most likely grabbing the bow's handle when you shoot.
And fer Pete's sake! rest up for a day or two before shooting again!

IMO paper testing farther than 6 frrt away is uselesseven an mproperly tuned bow will shoot a bullet hole thru paper at 10yards because the arrow has had time to stabelize and streighten out.
if you can get a good hole at 6 feet the bow is tuned for center shot and vertical alignment.
make sure the rest is coming up at the last inch before full draw , because the quicker the rest raises the later it will fall and cause fletch contact this si especially critical with shorter DL.
you also mentioned you are torquing the bow. you will never get a good hole thru paper by gripping your bow.
changing point weight is only a short cut to fix the real underlaying problem If your bow is well tuned it will shoot a good hole regardless of the point weight provided the spine is stiff enough
one other thig if you are shooting all white fletching it will give the appearance of an oscillating arrow (fish taioing)
that is about all the info I can give you without actually seeing the paper tear shot from 6 feet away.

then maybe try "bare shaft tuneing" , for myself I get better results with that method , allthough I used to swear against it , it seems to work for me now . Start close if you try it 5yards or so and then work your way back . If you are useing lite alluminum arrows you may wreck some .
