65# SHOULD do it....but there is OH SO MUCH MORE to consider...Arrow weight, speed, KE, momentum, broadhead weight and type.....

I'm thinking 65# should do it with proper shot selection.

My younger sister has killed her six bulls/seven cowswith a mere 52 pounds. She knows how to put the arrow on the spot. Hope that helps!
