My recurve shoots those 550 gn arrows through the chrony at 185 fps. My longbow does 186 with the same arrows. 42 ft lbs of energy.
That sounds great. As you know, my longbow is 55# at 28". I shot some 490 grain arrows through a chronograph yesterday and only reached 160 fps. That's only 27.86 ft. lbs. of KE. Honestly, I'm new enough that I don't know if that's sufficient.

I'm not sure what my KE is myself but I have had no problems what so ever in blowing through animals shooting my 3 blade snuffers and my arrow sticking in the dirt fairly well.
Ha! 73# at 29"..... I'd imagine not!
