I don't see the need to shoot 70 pounds.  65 pounds and a well placed arrow will kill anything in north America.  That would keep you from having to change your setup.

if you are shooting 55 now ...I would stay at 65lbs on the Bear....that Bear pulls hard I dont think you will like 70lbs if you have been shooting 55. as for shooting comp. most guys only shoot 55-65lbs ....

Did you say your arrow was 27" or your draw was 27" either way, at that draw length, a 400 spine arrow may perform very well up to 70 pounds.

When I have a set of wood shafts that are too stiff I could simply increase the point weight; in essence that weakens the spine (not actually, but when they go through the archer's paradox they will bend more when there is more weight up front, so they ACT weaker). So I could, if I wanted, shoot the same arrow shaft out of two different weight bows by changing the point weight.

All points made are great ones.  The most important thing on flight while hunting is the spline, helical, and tuning your broadhead.  1st shooting at a club you will most likely be shooting field tips, spline is not that important with field tips so your arrow should fly fine at the club in your situation.  2nd i too shoot a 27 inch arrow, and shot 70# i would always go with the manufactured listed spline for your arrow, and draw weight, these guys just dont right down number for no reason they know what they are talking about 9 times out of ten. 3rd why change you draw weight alls this does is cost more money in your situation.  Shot 62 # and call it good with what you got.. Once you wear out those arrows then think about making money costing changes.  Good luck
