I've been wanting to try a heavier arrow and like most other bow hunters spend a few more dollars on my obession.
My previous arrows were:
GoldTip XT Hunters 5575
26.25''
100gr head
358 total weight
Today I got my new arrows which are:
GoldTip Pro Hunter 7595
26.5''
100gr head
440 total weight
If you do the math I went 82gr heavier. I went out today for a few quick shots and there didn't appear to betoomuch of a difference in drop between the two arrows.Notmuch as I expected. One thing that I did notice is that my bow is much quiter now. I haven't went to the shop yet to see how much speed I lost, but hopefully I gained some KE.
So, what do you guys think? Do you think I'mshooting too heavy of an arrow?
My bow is a 07' TomKat set at 70lbs 27.5'' DL with a loop.

I don't think they are too heavy, I too just went to the 7595's plus I will be adding 3gr weight tubes which should put me in the 500+ range...You might be just a hair on the stiff side but GT's chart shows you to be good...

One reason I went with the 7595 is because of my short DL. According to the chart (as was said) it shows that it should be alright.
I only less than 50 shots rotating the arrows every shot and as I said I haven't noticed any difference in flight. Just don't want the change to actually "hurt" me.
