General answer:  YES
What is being overlooked here is what poundage are you shooting this arrow from?
How many grains per pound of bow weight do you arrive at with that 470gr total arrow weight? That is most likely the more meaningful big picture ............  In the realm of 10 - 12 grains per pound is a sweet spot for many many a bow hunter.

Sounds like you are right around 10gpp.  A Decent hunting weight arrow anyhow.  And able to kill just about any critter on this continent.

……. That’s figured by 50# at 28”,  losing a few inches of draw and that corresponding weight loss.
