I expect a lighter arrow would be more affected. A lower poundage bow would shoot slower, all else equal, so any induced drag would be less, resulting in less effect.
Still, at 60,80,90 yards the vertical difference between the arrows was less than 1/2". I doubt that there will be any meaningful difference regardless.

With field points and low profile expandibles such as FOCs and Schwackers, I found little accuracy difference between offset and Bolt fletched Blazers out to 100 yards. Not the case with broadheads such as Thunderheads, Wasp XLS, etc. Helical is much more accurate offset. I did multiple tests comparing offset vs helical and various broadheads shortly after getting my M380 4 years ago.
