I dont think you will have a problem getting a pass through.

proper shot placement is the most inportant element!

as long as you arent hitting the animal in the shoulder blade you should be able to get a pass thru.

You must take into account what size and type of broadhead you will be shooting to know if you will have the energy for passthrews.

A large cut mechanical will be trouble for you with the lack of energy.

A cut on contact head or quality replaceable blade broadhead will work best with your setup.

To summarize....if you put the arrow where it needs to go and you use a relatively conservatively sized chisel tipped or cut on contact fixed blade head then the WB and your draw weight should not hinder you from a pass through shot. Just make sure your bow is well tuned.

Accuracy is the key and your bow should do fine with those MUZZYS
