I dont think you will have a problem getting a pass through.

proper shot placement is the most inportant element!

as long as you arent hitting the animal in the shoulder blade you should be able to get a pass thru.

You must take into account what size and type of broadhead you will be shooting to know if you will have the energy for passthrews.

A large cut mechanical will be trouble for you with the lack of energy.

A cut on contact head or quality replaceable blade broadhead will work best with your setup.

To summarize....if you put the arrow where it needs to go and you use a relatively conservatively sized chisel tipped or cut on contact fixed blade head then the WB and your draw weight should not hinder you from a pass through shot. Just make sure your bow is well tuned.

Accuracy is the key and your bow should do fine with those MUZZYS

Of course all this advice assumes your bow is well tuned... Ooops! Like Frank said
