Default Need help with momentum calculation

I don't know how to calculate momentum and need some help and also what an execptable range of momentum?
I am shoting a 372.4gr arrow with an average speed of 305fps that calculates to 77lbs of KE. I am shooting a Bowtech Allegiance 29" draw and 70lb pull with 28.5" Carbon Express CX300 3D selects with a 100gr tip fletched with 3 blazer vanes.

Yeah it's lighter than I have used in the past but it is over the ibo of 5gr\lb or 350gr. I have weight tubes ordered but I don't know if I will mess with them or not because I am shooting better with this setup than I have in the past few years.

I do my momentum calculations the easy way. I go to Jackson's website and plug my numbers into his ballistics program.
