Do you plan to put Tip Overlays back on it?  ...or let the Osage do the work.

@Gsulfridge: thank you very much!
@scottski: Glad to have you along for the ride!  Thanks, I've always wanted one like that too.  ;)
@Onebowoner: No the tips are thick enough to support it now.  One less thing to go wrong in the field.

I cannot believe this figure. maybe you confused gram and grain. according to the formula of kinetic energy, the energy equals 1/2mv^2. a 500 grams arrow is 0.5kg. 160FPS  is roughly equivalent to 49m/s. that means your 50+ lbs osage bow shooted an arrow with  600 J energy! and we should notice that the muzzle energy of glock 18 pistol is only 530 J！

Has to be 500 grains, 500 grams would be a 1.1 pound arrow, unless you are shooting that from a Roman Ballista you will not achieve 160 fps.
