So I ran my specs through the Backcountry archery calculator, and it said my approx. kinetic energy is 66 ft. lbs, enough (according to the general consensus) for dangerous/tough game such as Cape Buffalo and Grizzly.:cool::cool:

That should be more than enough for deer AS. lol Had an old g/f that got a complete pass through with a bow that was only getting about 40 ft/lbs. When I had that bow cranked up to 70#, it said it was around 78 ft/lbs KE. with my set up. Now I shoot most everything around 65#. Easier draw, and still plenty of energy left over to stick the arrow in the ground. lol
Another decent calculator is here: http://utopiaprogramming.com/ke/KineticEnergy.html#
Yeah, it's set for 60lbs right now, but after deer season I'll probably set it for about 65 lbs. It's just too smooth and easy to draw. Oops, there's no such thing as a bow being too smooth.LOL

That calculator works well too.
