Very good point bigbulls. Although I don't currently hunt big game, I do plan to one day. It would be senseless for me to buy a less efficient bow when I will eventually need a higher KE output for elk, bear, moose, etc.

Not only that, but I gain confidence in knowing that my bow is producing enough KE if my arrow placement is less than perfect (Shoulder hit, bone etc.) to finish the deal. Although perfect arrow placement is key, buck fever has been known to give one the shakes! Just my 2 cents.
