every time i check a different arrow manufacture my draw weight and length are right on the border line between two different sizes. is it better to go with the lighter shaft or the heavier. keep in mind speed is nothing i worry about.

Knowing your a hunter and shoot broadheads it's best to be over spined than just a little under spined.

I would go with the heavy side of the chart. Don't need any more stress on the limbs

Back before the carbon arrows came on the scene I shot aluminum. I always found the spine charts to be on the stiff side so I always just picked my arrows from the spine chart for target arrows.
Still do, even for carbon. One of the nice features about carbon is that they work over a much wider range of length/weight combinations.
Now answering the question, you don't always have to go to a stiffer shaft. You could always try dropping some draw weight and see what happens. Or try heavier vanes on the back end. Lighter points? Can you cut another 1/4" or 1/2" off the arrow? How about a combinatin of all these.
