Agreed with what’s been said. You should be fine if your arrows are flying good and straight. Even a deer shoulder with a good fixed blade and a 425+ grain is going to be in trouble at 40 yards. Maybe not a pass through though.

Ya, provided that deer is still there at 40 yards when a heavy slow arrow gets there.  That would be a hard one to pull off on a wired mature whitetail.

Ok will try to answer to the best of my ability and with what resources I have available.
Using my powder measure balance beam loaded arrow balances beam  out at 445.8 grains
Loaded arrow levels out when pivot point?  is 4 3/4 inches forward of center of arrow measured from end of shaft to nock groove, so no idea what percentage the FOC is.

I'd hardly call 425 grains a slow heavy arrow. Rough numbers but a 425 grain arrow out of modest IBO (320fps) 60lb bow pulled to 28" is still cooking about 260fps~, a 360 grain arrow is only going about 15fps~ faster. 

I shoot 505 grain arrows and through the chronograph it reads 279fps.  Id take the heavier arrow for wind reduction and penetration over a lighter arrow. To each their own.

What’s your total arrow length? From nock groove to end of insert

Sorry I should have asked that
