I can' t agree more with Frank when he says don' t be fooled by the high powered setups, Droptines.

As long as you make sensible choices in your arrow weight and broadheads, matching them to the size and toughness of the game you' re after, then 60 ft lbs of energy is enough to take care of any critter in North America and most of Africa as well. Don' t go expecting your bow to blow a 2 1/5" wide 3-blade mechanical through a moose on a 350 grain arrow. At the same time a 600 grain arrow and a 1 1/4" wide 2-blade probably wouldn' t even slow down.

My main compound puts out about the same energy as your bow does. I shoot 580 grain arrows with 125 grain heads or 615 grain arrows with 160 grainers, 2-blade broadheads. I shoot the setup VERY well, fingers/barebow and I wouldn' t hesitate to take it on any hunt, for anything. Another 10 pounds of draw weight would give me another 10 pounds of KE, and a bit extra penetration that might come in handy in a worst case scenario - but only if I could hit what I shoot at with it.

Shooting a draw weight that you can handle accurately in a field situation will keep you from getting faced with a LOT of worst case scenarios.
