Default field points to broadheads

Ok, time to get some arrows with broadheads. My field tips are mated to Carbon Revolution Extreme Impact 300. Total weight of arrow is 421 grains. Idaho has a 400 grain minimum and I will abide by that. (what, the CO is carrying a grain scale in the field?) Been shooting pretty good groups at 10, 15, and 20 yds with the field tips. I am going to purchase arrows (the same) designated broadheads only, no switching back and forth. Been doing some searching and reading at this site and others. So my questions are these. Depending on the broadhead I select, should I have the arrow shaft shortened to coincide with field tip arrow length? What about going with a lighter broadhead in relation to field tips? I have a few grains to spare to be legal and would still be over 6 grains\lb. Obviously I am trying to optimize broadhead flight and now am thinking I should have just begun with shooting broadheads. I have a 29" draw, and am pulling 60 pounds. Thanks in advance.
