Maybe a different question is - how deep will it penetrate? How heavy is your fieldpoint, broadhead?

Well, actually, he didn't ask a different question.
   :rolleyes:  

The answer is...no one really knows since you supplied very little pertinent information.  If you are shooting it accurately, and if you hit your game in a vital area, no doubt it will do a commendable job.

If you want to know how fast it is, then you need to find a chronograph and measure the speed.  But you are going to be fine for game, as long as your arrows are flying perfectly..have sharp cut on contact broadheads, and you don't spazz-out when you release the string.  Put that arrow in the lungs and you will be draggin' one home.

How fast will it travel?

That depends.

Next Day Air is the fastest, but Parcel Post USPS will get the job done.

An educated guess might be 155-175 feet per second depending on arrow weight.

" Educated guess", and Big Jim told me he didn't think you made it past the fifth grade.
