Default RE: Correct Arrow Weight

I may have a problem. Since reading this I did a bit of measuring and am coming up short on my arrow weight. Can comeone tell me if I am shooting the wrong arrows?
PSE Carrera
70# draw weight
30in draw length
29in arrow
100 grain broadhead
3 blazer vanes
I come up with 349 grains - am I wrong?
You also have to account for weight of your insert and nock...that depends on the brand, but I would figure around 25 grams for both. That would put you around 375 grams, which is awfully light for your set-up. With a 30" draw and 70# pull, I would look for around 450-475 grains...the 375 grain set-up should fly like lightning, but your kinetic energy and penetration will suffer.
