W.O.W you will more than likely find the an arrow of 5 to 10# under your bow weight will shoot very nice out of your bow because the arrow has to bend around the handle, the less centre shot the more it has to bend therefore the weaker the shaft has to be, and the closer to centre the bow is cut the stiffer the shaft can because it doesent have to bend as much.
You have so many options with wood shafts, you can change the dynamic sipne just by adding or removing weight to the shaft...Glenn...
