I shoot a 55lb long bow with 250 up front on a 500 spined arrow. Methinks you are massively over spined with that arrow.

definetly overspined. You need a 500 or 600 spine depending on tip weight and arrow length.

500 spine and 160 point weight to start with. Then add point weight to tune in.. And possibly a 600 spine

try a 1916 with 145gr point
What you're shooting seems way too stiff

A 340 is way stiff for that bow. I am shooting 340 spine shafts cut to 30&1/4" with 275 grains out front from a 55 pound aggressive d/r longbow and they are still a tad stiff. I would recommend a 500 with a good amount of point weight.
