Bit confused with everything

I have a 35lb AFB Buck Trail Black Hawk of which I draw 32lb @ 28.5 inch (checked on a bow scale)
I am making arrows, tested one at 32 inch Scots pine 340 grains with a 70 grain point and one at 30 inch same shaft also with a 70 grain point and 3 inch fletching on both
The larger one was straight in the target but seemed slow the smaller one was pointing slightly left in the target but flew faster both were pretty accurate
Am I shooting too low a grain point
Should I stick with 32 inch shaft or smaller shaft with a heavier grain point
Hope that made sense

Repeat the exercise but strip the vanes from a couple of each shaft type and shoot these as well, whichever bareshafts are closest to the fletched will be the closest to what you need - you can worry about point weight etc. after.
