Thank you all for letting me know how much I' m overthinking things. Fact is, when stuck at work and unable to shoot, or as SA put it- " If you spent as much time scouting, practicing, and hunting as you do worrying about your KE, then you could answer all of these questions yourself, because you would actually be running an arrow through one and deciding for yourself." , thinking is about all I have left.

I' m not THAT worried about it. I just like analyzing and discussing things. If you don' t, you don' t have to participate.

I don' t need a new bow. I can scout, practice hunt and send an arrow through a deer just fine with what I have, and have been for a long long time. I' m just one of those that IF I decide to get something new, I want some thought put into the process so I can be comfortable with my decision and subsequent purchase. I' m NOT gonna buy 3-4 bows per year, every year, like some. Once I reach a comfort zone, I see no need to change for the sake of change.

Art, thanks for your follow up. the 41' #s of ke minimum is the upper range on Eastons chart, from 25-41. I chose the upper end as I was interested in focusing on pass throughs.
