It takes less than one may think to have enough KE to bring an elk down! There are several on here that have taken elk with well under 40lbs of KE that shoot trad gear. We too have taken a few elk with 32lb-34lb of KE
  All arrows were in the 500grn range & bows were 55# to 60# at 28"

I think the deferenc betwing trad. gear hunters and compound bow shooters is this:
WHO use trad. staff they do practice more and they know their limits, I don't think
that they will take 40-60 yard shot, which is in my opinion one of the most impotent
thing to now your/bow limits.
Compound shooters some will not think twice before  taking a shot at elk at 60-80 yards
with out knowing their/bow limits, which is not good.
I'm absolutely agree that we need more worry about to know our/bow limits then KN
