Bare Shaft Result Help

I would like some advice on the following

I have been shooting now for about 3 months and I have now reached a stage were I can get consistent groups of a reasnoable size at 30M. I therefore decided it was time to have ago at tuning the bow.

The bow limbs are currently 28lb and my draw is 27inchs. Having looked at the Easton shaft selector and using Archers Advantage the spines I got and have been shooting with are 1816.

To my absolute amazement when I had a go at bare shaft tuning at 18M, the bare shafts went well to the left outside the 80cm butt. Flethced arrows group in the Gold with about a 3-4 inch group size. The bare shaft position indicates the shaft is way to stiff. I have now wound up the bow weight with the riser and I will try again tomorrow.

My question is how come the bare shafts were so far out when I was carefull to get the correct shaft in the first place ?

I have SO much to learn
