Default Bare shaft tuning question

Okay so it's more than one question but there are some things I am curios about. After messing around with my rest a bit during last fall in a failed attempt to broadhead tune I gave up and just sighted to were my broadheads were. Now with the new year I decided I should re tune the bow completely. I chose the bare shaft tuning method because it is the easiest for me given what I have to use and shoot into. I have my bow almost completely tuned except there is a fishtail in the bare shaft that kicks it to the left about 4 to 6 inches at 15 yards. The first thing I thought to do was move the rest to correct this just as you would paper tuning. When I did this I got the bare shafts to move to the correct spot but the problem is that the fleched arrows moved just as far away as the bare shafts moved. I am wondering if there is a different adjustment I should be doing on the bow or if it is because my arrows are to stiff that I cannot get the groups together. If the arrows are to stiff would raising the point weight be enough to correct this( if so by how much) or do I need lighter spined arrows.

Changing points is the easiest and cheapest way to see if your spine is weak or stiff.

What kind of bow? You can yolk tune if you have the means. Excessive cam lean can case this too.

As far as spine goes it's waaay better to be stiff than soft, especially if you have a drop away rest, from my experience, especially if you want to fly fixed blades.
