RE: kenetic energy???
According to bowjackson.com it's 74 ft-lbs of energy. GoldTip's calculator has it at 73.96 ft-lbs. Either way it's more than enough to kill anything in North America.

newman1,
You can calculate stored energy this way...
STORED ENERGY = VELOCITY times VELOCITY times WEIGHT divided by 450240
where:
STORED ENERGY is in Foot Pounds
VELOCITY is in Feet per second
WEIGHT is arrow weight in grains
so for your example 300 times 300 times 370 divided by 450240 equals 73.960554
of course 74 foot pounds is close enough.
