Default What is the best way to determine proper arrow weight?

I am shooting at 72lbs at 29" and my arrows are cut to 28.25" my arrow weight at this time is 294gr. + 75gr. broadhead for a total of 370gr. / 72lbs = 5.13 grains per pound of peak weight my arrow flight is good but I don't want to shoot under weight, and cause damage to my bow. I was always told that peak weight x 5gr. was the way to pick arrow weight, is this correct should I shoot a heavier or lighter arrow? I do plan on moving up to 100gr. broadheads next year to gain a wider cut I shoot muzzys and the 100gr. are 3/16th of an inch wider than the 75gr.Anyone got any suggestions!
