I don't think you would find many (if any) trad shooters who would argue that 55 pounds isn't big enough for whitetails.
55 is PLENTY....... I dusted 2 hogs off with a 48lb bow last week..... No problem with penetration..... And the skin on a hog is unbelievably thick! up to 1 inch in places, before you even get to the fat and muscle.......
