Momentum is a much better indicator of penetration than KE. KE is better suited for bullets because the bullet is actually transferring its energy to the animal to kill it. Arrows kill by cutting so you want to be able to penetrate the arrow thorugh the animal.

It doesn't really matter with your set up though. You have enough momentum and KE to kill any deer in the woods.
