Default Kenetic energy

I' m shootin 262 fps with my darton. my arrows are beman ICS 400' rds 28 1/2" long, 327 grains. according to bow-jackson energy calculator I got 50 ft lbs of KE.
this don' t sound right. last fall I was pullin 65 lb draw weight with the same arrow, except with feathers instead of vanes. I came up with 62 ft lbs of KE.
shouldn' t be that much difference with only 3 lbs less draw weight.
does that sound about right on the weight of those arrows? seems like last time I was figuring over 400 grains? [:' (] I won' t even be able to shoot mechanicals with my splitfire 36, pullin 62 lbs with the same arrow I' m only shootin 240 fps, and my KE is only 42 ft lbs. last fall I was pullin 65 lbs, and shootin rocket steelheads, and got complete pass throughs on 2 deer. I guess it' s back to fixed heads with my splitfire.
