    What is your draw length? I shoot 60 lbs. at 28" and am using 400 spine.

    Your spine would be good at those specs, have you done any tuning to the bow?

    First thing I would do is a french tune followed by a walk back tune. You might find that your rest needs to be moved slightly.

    If that all checks out, and your arrows are still flying less than straight you can try to turn your limb bolts in a quarter to half turn. It will increase your draw weight a little but the 60-65 pound range is right on the line between 400 and 340 spine. A few pounnds of draw weight might not be noticible to you but it could make a big difference to the arrow. I shoot 29 inch arrows with 340 spine at 60-65 pounds and 29 inch draw.

    A third option if the first two aren't helpful would be to increase your tip weight. If you have 100 grain tips, try 125 grain and see if that helps.

    I would guess option one is your best bet.
