Pastor,

I think you'll be just fine with what you have.

I rebuttal to a couple of other posts about the peed vs KE argument, I want to say that I am basically a speed freak and I can usually tinker and tweak almost every available fps out of my bows. One reason is a like tinkering and I know how to get the speed.

However, I hunt whitetail deer and it takes little to nothing to blow right through them unless you hit solid bone.

Pastor here is talking about hunting elk, and I would certainly give up some speed to maintain a little more moentum in the arrow. Notice I said momentum, not kinetic energy. I could care less what numbers are achieved with the chronograph and calculator. And the elk doesn't either.

I know this might start some debate, but I'm basing my statements on over 32 years of hunting with compound bows. Back when I shot about a 450 grain arrow at the then average speed of 180-190 fps (get your calculators out boys) and got complete pass throughs on deer then.

There were and still are a lot of guys shooting recurves doing much the same, and on animals as big as elk. With half the KE you guys are discussing.

So my point is that it's nice to know the bow speed and kinetic energy, but losing sleep over it or going out and buging the latest and greatest gadget to gain more doesn't prove a damned thing---especially in the hunting territory.
