FYI- Kinetic energy for a bow ( X-bow , compound or recurve)

arrow weight X Velocity( squared) / 450240

My X-Bow is an Excalibur Equinox. The speed is 350 Ft./Sec. arrow weight is 350 gr.

350 X ( 350X350) / 450240 = 95.2 Ft. Pounds of Kinetic energy.
I'm not sure how much it takes to blow through a deer at 40 yards, but this X-bow has never had a problem. I agree with everyone else, it sounds like a cheaply made, slow X-bow. I would save the money and buy one from a reputable maker, Excal, Ten Point, Horton etc. You'll be glad you did.
