Default draw weight/arrow question?

Hello, I'm looking to get a predator hunter bow from hunters niche.Being only 5'6" I have a 26 inch draw.I currently have a Ben Pearson gamester x50# @ 28.With my draw I figure I'm shooting around 45#.If I get a 60# @ 28 It should be around 54#?I shoot 29" 2117 legacy's with 125 gr points in the pearson. These group well .( I paper tuned them and get bullet holes) Will I have to change my arrow spine with the increased pondage?Any recomendations?

Bullet holes?Paper tuning is all about the tears from the fletching not the shaft.I'm surprised the 2117 shoots well from the Pearson but it might be good with the heavier draw weight.

By bullet holes, I mean perfect fletching paper tear.
