I wasn't going to say nothing about someone else's wife. Though I am certain that animal looks one heck of a lot better in her pictures than it would have in mine. Absolutely no question about that!

I'm a big believer in high KE. I mean, why not have the highest KE you can get? If you are getting enough speed have manageble pins, then why not have the KE too. I'm shooting my hunting arrows at + or - 305 fps, and they are heavy giving me very high KE. So what does that mean? Well, it means that if you happen to make a marginal shot, say into the shoulder of an elk, you are going to be more likely to get that elk then someone with less KE. Is it super critacal for killing animals? probably not. It's like driving two identical cars, one with a v-6 and one with a v-8. All of that being said, my wife's set-up doesn't produce near the KE that mine does, but she was able to harvest a nice buck last year. The most important thing is going to be putting that arrow right where it needs to be regardless of the KE, the speed, color or any other variable. Good luck..

Most archers shoot bow/arrow combinations closer to that of the .22 Short and not that bone crushing super deep penetrating master of destruction .22 Long Rifle! Sort of makes that KE energy issue within archery set ups a little insignificant, doesn't it? Especially when there is usually energy to spare as the arrow is leaving the target animal.I love you...I mean, nice observation sir..
