Default Arrow drop.....or lack of?

I've been tinkering with getting my bow dialed in and have increased the draw weight about 3 times as I've conditioned the shooting muscles.

I don't have a way to measure the draw weight so I'm not 100% what it is but it has to be near 60lbs. I've noticed that I have very little difference in my shot patterns from 10/20/30 yards.

Using just one sight pin, at 10 yards, I'm about 4 inches high. At 20 yards it's still about an inch high.

At 30 yards it's about an inch low. Is this normal?

I'm certainly not shooting light arrows. My 27" carbon express arrows are 11.4gr/inch.....a hair over 400gr with the field point....not includeing the nock, vanes, and insert.
