Nonsense. I actually own 3 recurves and have built a few myself. I shoot them a few times a year and even hunt with them occasionally. In a short amount of time after not shooting them for awhile I can be proficient enough to hunt. So called traditional archers are no better than any other archer. There are guys who hunt with "traditional" gear who don't pick up a bow until the week before the season too.

Mine's similar setup with 70 lb draw. Shoot Beman MFX 300 (10.7 gpi) at 29 inches. 310 + 125 grain Muzzy Phantom = 435 grain. That would make KE 107.2 at maximum FPS. I might just be able to get my elk and my deer in the same shot...just have to get them to stand next to each other.

I like this calculator better.http://utopiaprogramming.com/ke/KineticEnergy.html#It allows you to account for us that don't know their arrow speed because we've never had it tested. My stats are about the same as yours but, with adding the grains that are on your string and draw length, it shows my arrow speed as 227fps and 40lbs of KE
What does weight on the string mean?
PSE X FORCE! Here are my stats for diffrent hunting situations.Washington hunting "to be legal" 450g arrow at 75lbs= 307fps KE=94New Zealand 450g arrow at 83lbs= 323fps KE=1043d shoots if I change from my washington setup 375g arrow 75lbs= 332fps KE=92YES MY BOW IS ONE BAD BIT#*

Over bow much? I'm gonna setup a 80# omen just to blow your KE out of the water! LolThe computer says a 80 omen can produce about 121# of KE for me lol
I don't know my KE but I weighed my arrows and chrono'd my bow the other night. Hoyt Alphamax 32 at 64# and a 30" draw.I weighed 3 arrows...464,465,464 grains and I shot those 3 arrows through the chrono... 262 262 263 fps.
