Does the arrow hit where you aim? I prefer arrows to be just a tad weak so that the arrow will fall in a prefect vertical line from where I am aiming. I have done it enough to know about what spine I need so I adjust the horizontal with point weight and rest tweaks. I tend to leave my arrows full length as I like to use the point as an aiming device - gap shooting. A weak arrow will land right of your aim point, a stiff arrow will land to the left for a right handed archer. I personally don't bother with paper tuning a trad bow and have found that when tuned to shoot where I'm aiming the bare shaft will shoot a tad weaker than fletched shafts.
