That was my thought that my bow shoots a ~315gr projectile at ~300fps so a 223gr projectile at no less than 800fps should be able to do the trick. A neck shot would drop the animal in its tracks.

They also sell 30gr Pyro Pellets, I'd do a 50 and a 30. 80grs does'nt have that much recoil at all. My Wife is only 5'2" and 110lbs, one year I had Her set up with that 80gr Load and She shot it just fine.
I'd feel much better with 80gr's vs 50grs even at shots 50yds and under, remember anything can happen especially if the shot is'nt a perfect one.

Oh and my father in law used to use around 60 grains I believe...didn't figure it was much difference.

It's a small game load with a lousy bullet.
A 223gr PB is barely more than a .54 round ball. Nobody hunts for deer with 50 gr with a PRB, and the PRB has way better terminal performance than that PB. It's a target load.
You're showing how little you know. (again)
