Huntingson, to be honest, I'm not sure what the drop is beyond 30 yards, but I do know this....The heavy arrow doesn't slow down as quickly as the light arrow, and at some point the lighter arrow will drop quicker....But I don't know what those numbers are. Someone with ontarget 2 could give us those numbers I would think...
That is a good point. I would definitely be curious to know where that crossover occurs for no other reason than pure curiosity.

I forgot through the course of this that I did increase my total arrow weight by 15 grains when I went from an 85grain Wasp head to the 100 grain Rage. There was no noticeable difference out to 40 yards, which is all I have checked to date. So, now my hunting arrow is almost 400 grains. I think that is probably a mid-range arrow
