I like the Bowsite story. I personally think too much is made of KE instead of trying to gain accuracy and arrow/ bow tuning to get the most momentum with what you got. To that end I've gotten complete passthroughs and driven 10" into the ground with as little as 39lbs/ft of energy. As the story says, "much ado about nothing". Lets qualify this and say on deer sized game.

With the proper broadheads, proper arrows and an accurate shooter you can easily take deer and other big game animals with very little KE.
Colorado's minimum draw weight to hunt elk is 35 pounds. Not a whole heck of a lot of energy being generated there especially it one is useing a long bow.
