If you can hit what you're aiming at ... they're not too heavy.

I practice at 10, 15 and 20 yards. My shots at live game are usually between 12-17 yards. I look at it this way. If there is very little drop in trajectory between 10 and 20 yards, then the arrows are not too heavy.
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 10.02
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 37# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 11.37

Sound good to me.
My 750 gr arrows out of my selfbow do the job out to 25 (two antelope to prove it), so if you are getting flat to 30 more power to you.

I'm shooting 775gr off a 55# long bow. Makes a nice thud.

Heavy arrows work very well, quiet bow and great penetration.

I like arrows matched to bows at about 12 gr. per lb. of Bow weight.  Yours are very close to this.  Arrows at this weight have enough speed and pack a big punch.  My rig is 51# at my draw and my arrows weigh 605 grains.

Makes for one heavy quiver. I prefer 450-550 grains and I hunt the same game you do. Similar bow specs.
