Default UPCOMING ELK HUNT

Hello guy's, how you doing. I have an elk hunt coming up and was hoping for a little honest advise. While I shoot both a compound and traditional, my heart is with the latter. I have harvested severaldeer with both, but was recently told something that bothers me. I was planning on using my recurve on my upcoming elk hunt. I pull 60 pounds at a draw length of 28", shoot 29"Easton 2216 Legacy feather fletchedshafts off the shelf with a finger tab, tipped with Muzzy three bladed 100 grain broadheads. I was told this past week by an archery expert?? That this arrow/broadhead setup was to light and would not deliver enough kinetic energy to provide ample penetration on a thick hided elk? I shoot broadhead groups with this setup of 8" at 30 yards by practicing several times a week, but the last thing I want to do is not recover an animal. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. My 29" shafts tipped with broadheads, nock, insert, andfeathers weigh 456.58 grains total. My recurve shoots this arrow setup at 185' per second. Thank you....Joe
