Default new guy here, hows my setup?

New to the forum. I bought a used bow a few years ago and am just now getting serious. I want to get some input on my setup.

I have a Buckmaster 2000 70# set at 59# (until I get my muscles built up) with 28" draw using 29.5" CE Terminator arrows (10.0 gpi, .30" dia). I don't know the flight speed of the arrows. Is this combination enough for mechanical NAP Spitfire 100 gr on deer? Or should I go with Muzzy 3 blades? How are these arrows? Any recomendations? Thanks all

I would say you are not going to have the KE required to shoot a mech. It is hard to say without knowing your arrow speed.

I am drawing 29" with a 381gr arrow(including the tip)and the speed is 261fps (67# draw). This comes out to 58lbs KE. I am not comfortable shooting mechs with that setup. All i can say is it is personal choice... do a little research.
