If the old rule of thumb of 1 fps per every 5 grains of arrow weight is right, then those numbers check out. Of course, there's that other rule of thumb that says 1 fps per every 4 grains. Then we'd be looking at 266 fps and 85 ft lbs of KE. According to my randomly accurate calculations, that is still 79 fpe at 30 yards. But, silentassassin is right. You'd need to fling some logs to find out for sure.
