Would 65# be considered too light?
I feel that would be adequet, especially with a high amount of KE coming out of the bow...

65# is more than adequate! Stay with a 400 grn+ arrow/broadhead wt. & you'll be good to go! Most recurve/longbow hunters shoot 50#-60# for elk & no problems! SnufferSS--Montecs--Stingers--Muzzys & the like are good choices in the 125grn wts.
