Time to make arrows
DC:
OK I screwed up. I assumed that the same FOC would equate to the same tip weight as far as dynamic spine was concerned. I was wrong. The next arrow was a couple pounds lighter and I put a 100 grain point on it. It went straight in from 3 yds out to 15 or so then it started to drift. I'm happy again. Now I can experiment with it a bit.
DC:
I reduced the spine 10#to 47#, reduced the tip weight from 100gr to 60 gr. and it flew about 2" nock left. I shortened the arrow an inch and it's still a tad nock left. It weighs 377 gr.

I think you should experiment making at least a close to center shot bow. I just make the arrows around 38-45# spine. Some arrows fly great from certain bows and others fly better from other bows.
Basically I match the bow to the arrows and spend time tuning the bow not the other way around. It just gives me more flexibility when making arrows as I just wing it so to speak. An arrow that may fly right/side on one bow will fly straight on another.
DC:
To me, centershot bows have always looked like they were one pull away from breaking. I'm slowly sneaking in :)

Im not going to say its gospel but im shooting pretty light weight bows to and i havent had one break yet taking the rest area to near center shot. Look at some of Mark st. Louis bows and you'll notice he gets them very close to center shot and he is building bows alot heavier than what im using.
