Question Arrows to stiff.....???

While I'm awaiting for my compound to be returned I decided to tune my recurve. I was unable to get my unfletched arrows within about 25cm of my fletched arrows.

They were landing about the same height, but way off to the right, being a lefty the guide suggested that they were too stiff. After ajusting my button, moving the button, changing the bracing height, and my anchoring point, 25cms was the closest I could get at 20yds. (without the button they weren't even on the boss!!)

I'm holding about 29lbs on my fingers, and about 26" draw and am shooting 1616 XX75s (which is the recommended shaft). Any suggestions???

Just to be fun, I also took advantage of the lack of wind to do a walk back test, arrows more or less in a straight line down from 5yds-40yds.... which would suggest they were fairly ok.....

Help!!!
