well that could be a lot of things but the two times I had this issue: 1) contact and 2) rest not set up quite right.  Both were pretty simple adjustment.  But take it into the shop and ask for help.  This will be the fastest way to figure it out in a controlled setting.  And that spine should be fine for that set up, I used to shoot the same arrows for deer @ 70#'s.

Arrow spine should be fine with what you are shooting.  FOC marginal but ok.  Sounds like you just need a little tuning.  Kyle and Joe should get you really close, but usually a guy needs to be able to do a little tweaking on his own too.

Also, you need to shoot broadheads and field points to verify.  Quite often on sunny days you will see an optical illusion that looks like the back end of the arrow is doing small loops.  Most often it is the lighter colored cock vane spinning.  I fletch a couple arrows with all white or flo yellow fletching to help eliminate the illusion while tuning.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

I'm shooting the exact same set up. I'm shooting 65lbs. My arrows weigh 390.  I recommend you paper tune. Could be your arrow rest and etc..
