So you are putting so much weight in the front as to half it;s speed? Lets stick to realities please.
A lighter arrow will extract less energy from the bow and thus as the energy is shed due to drag will not maintain velocity as long.
Compare the wind drift of a ping pong ball to a brick. Go out in string winds and throw both and see how you go.
