Default Kinetic Energy...what is your setup producing?

Well I got my new cams in to fix my bow, got everything timed and in spec. She maxed out on 62lbs, 28.5" draw, 368 gr arrow and she shot 276 fps. Which is producing around 61-63ft lbs of KE. What are your setups producing, and what kind of broadheads are you going with? I'm thinking about putting some Mechanicals in my quiver along with my Muzzy MX-3's. You think I would be good as far as any mechanical goes?

i think youll be fine but i always like to point out that there is a huge dif in the penetration of good design vs bad when dealing with mechnicals. usually eveyone tries shooting huge cuts which takes alot of energy to push through and is also more likely to hit bones. i think staying in the 1.5" and under is a good idea but the others work too.

i used a claculator and i dont think it gave me the right amount maybe someone can tell me what they get

365gr at 270fps (i got 59.xx)
