321*290*290/450240 gets you down to 60.03 lbs of ke.
Just saying.

I had been doing a lot of research in this area recently and found some very helpful websites.

After doing lots of math and reading these the best conculsion I have is don't worry about KE or any other figure.
Get your Spine correct, your bow tunned and shooting straight, and the most important part is your Broadhead....it needs to be sharper than a razor blade if you want the best success in the field!

I agree wholeheartedly. It is fun to run the numbers and have a high ke bow etc but it's really irrelevant if you shoot a bh that is sharp, and not going to soak up ke by opening and catching etc... Spine is also very helpful bc you will lose ke quicker there as well bc the left and right flex will not allow as much transfer of energy.
It was pretty darn cool tho to put a dull 2 blade rage through the shoulder of a doe and have to tug to get the arrow out of the ground
. I killed her with my practice head lol. With 97#'s I believe I could have gotten a pass thru with a dull rock haha
