Default RE: More arrow speed drivel... Trajectory chart

Would anyone go along with using a high performance bow to gain energy and momentum instead of speed? I don’t believe speed factors a whole lot in hunting, but I do like to error on the side of more energy & momentum in my arrows. I know a well placed shot needs very little KE to zip thru a rib cage, but I like to have that confidence that if something does go wrong, the arrow has enough ability to penetrate a deer’s vitals. I’m probably going to buy a speed bow(310+ IBO) for next year and then slow that bugger down with a little on the heavy side arrow to be able to shoot those armor plated deer. [8D]
