What is everyone getting out of their set-ups? Please specify arrow type, arrow length, arrow weight, draw length, and speed.

Is there a "target" KE that one should be shooting for? (pardon the pun)

Just want to get some comparisons.

Thanks.

Keep, WOW, that some serious KE!

bmac, what bow are you shooting?

[txcat44]

Dont know what my KE is but I shoot GT Velocity XT 400 @ 28", 394gr, 28" draw, shooting 310fps. I keep my arrows light and fast because out here in AZ our White tail are small and you have to regularly take shots 50-70yrds. I want my arrows flying flat and fast. For elk, I will probably switch to Axis or FMJ 340s cause the shots are shorter.

Im not trying to be a smarty pants here but on a serious note if you use the search bar you can spend the remainder of this month reading up on this topic. Im just trying to give you more material to read.

To the question im not sure on mine and Im not to concerned with it, it kills everythign it hits and thats plently for me

KE's Largely a measure of the bow's performance (notice the high draw weight & long DL bows are pumping out the highest KE) - you can tweak it a little with arrow weight, but you won't see much more than a couple ftlbs swing. My compound setup's around 74ft/lbs - Elite Z28, 460gr arrow around 275fps.

[thebomb6_99]

Small Sized Game - 25 ft-lbs
Medium Sized Game (Deer, antelope, etc.) - 25-40 ft-lbs
Large Sized Game (Elk, Moose, Black Bear) - 50-65 ft-lbs
Dangerous/Tough Game (Cape Buffalo, Grizzly, etc.) - 65 ft-lbs and above

I think this is what you are looking for
