Default Fresh Meat to the Archery World!!

I finally took the plunge and bought a cheap starter bow to cover all seasons of deer hunting. I bought a Parker Wildfire XP. It's 31 1/4 axle to axle. Set up with a 29" draw and set to 70lb draw weight. I just bought some Goldtip XT Hunter 5575 arrows cut to 29.5" with 4 in. vanes. Goldtip says they weigh 8.2g/in. I also have 125g Muzzy fixed 3 blade broadheads. I'm guessing total arrow weight to be around 367g. Given 5 grams per lb of draw weight, itis recommended tobe around 350 with my current set up. SINCE I'M NEW to this, I'm asking for your opinions like everyone else on my set up. Particularly if my arrow is to lite and I need to step up to the 7595's, if my broadhead is to heavy, if my vanes are to short, etcl. I know i'm going to have to shoot it to see how it does, but just by the numbers and info. given........does it sound like it should be an OK set up???

Thanks for your inputs
