depends on much more than poundage, such as type of head and how sharp it is, how TUNED your bow is, and as mentioned, what you hit. If you hit a deer broadside with a 2 blade cut on contact and catch no ribs I bet you could pass though with 20 ftlb of KE...but not recomending it

My buddy used to shoot 45lbs, hand every once in a while he would get a pass through. On a side note, guys that shoot 70 or 75lbs dont always get pass throughs. Its depends what your arrow hits.

ive seen 40lbs pass thru and stick in the dirt just dont hit anything hard with a sharp head and its pretty easy to get through a deer. just think people shot recurves and stuff with alot less KE and got pass throughs not as much as we do now but its all in the hit and the head your using.

Best answer so far......They say 22-25 # of KE is sufficient to do the job. The rig described above is the way to go for low poundage bows
