Bows cut past center usually will "accept" a wider range of arrow spine, as you move outwards "correct" arrow spine becomes more crucial because of the increased paradox of the arrow when shot. Hope this helps, no stupid questions on here only those that you don't ask!

As the shaft moves closer to centershot it becomes weaker...as it moves away from centershot it becomes stiffer.
