If you are aiming at the bullseye, and the majority of your arrows are grouping to the right that could indicate a weak shaft, to the left a stiff shaft.
Do a search in the members directory for people in your area, and see if someone will give you some private lessons.

Bareshafting you want the arrow to be a little underspined..or you can add 13-15 grains to the nock end of the arrow and arrow can be straight in but a little high nock.If your grouping right or left and your bare shaft is straight with the added weight. Look for something else, its not your arrow.

when I tune I watch the bare shaft in flight if it kicks to the right its stiff, to the left its weak. I add weight or cut down until they are flying good then I paper tune with a fletch arrow and make little adjustments there then I go back out and see how they shoot. works great for me.

Yes if you have nock end weighted to match feather, glue weight. If you can't get it perfect,it has something to do with something besides the arrow. If you can't just make sure you are underspined a little and try shooting a fletched arrow, it should still be good... shoot for a week or so and try again....

I'd say start with the 150 spine arrows, I use 250's with 300gr upfront. So if you go 150 with 50 gr insert, and tips around 125 you'll be in the ballpark.

I agree with Moebow. If your form is not consistent bareshafting is like a dog chasing its tail. It's about like trying to sight in a scoped rifle that has loose mounts. CE 150's should be somewhere close. Fletch some up and shoot. Worry about bareshaft tuning later.

Before I switched to woodies I was shooting CX 150''s cut 29" with 225 gr. up front out of a 50 lb. Northern Mist Classic and they were perfect so IMO the 150s should work with some adjustments.

I shoot a #55 K-Mag @ 28" and draw 27". I get good results with Heritage 150 cut to 30" and 175 gr. up front.
Also get good results with 250's at 30" with 250 gr. up front.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills. He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Listen to these guys, they've helped me a lot. I was where you are about 6 months ago. I'm on my 2nd set of arrows I was able to tune. I had to get a second set cause my draw length went from 28" to 29". Here is what I shoot now out of my #50 bow:
Gold Tip Traditional 3355, 30”. 145 gr. field point, 50 gr. weight. Total = 493 gr.
