I take that back. Just switch to an 85 grain head.

Yes, you are underspined according to Gold Tip's chart. What is "shooting pretty decent" in your mind? How is your arrow flight? Have you had a buddy stand behind you and watch? If you think you are ready for the season, why are you asking?

Probably the cheapest fix.....Just make sure that you resight as you are likely to pick up some speed.
