have been shooting arrows for deer or hogs at 59 lbs at 334 grains and have had no problem with getting great penetration and taking animals. i am shooting between 250 to 252 fps. sop i have plenty of ke
Robk,
With that setup the numbers come out to 46 foot pounds of KE. I realize the term "plenty" is subjective and based on what an individuals expectations are. For me, plenty would be enough KE to hit the offside shoulder of a 300 pound whitetail and still get a passthrough. I am shooting about 78 foot pounds of KE and my odds of doing that would be 50% - 50%. Lots of archers have seen what they considered plenty, turn into not nearly enough with the ducking or turning of an animal etc. JMO
