They have been killed with less and killed with more so I'd say your good to go. Just put it were it belongs. Good luck and take care.

I use nothing but wood arrows and straight longbows for elk. Your setup will work fine if properly tuned, but I prefer a bit more — 600 gr from a 55-60 lb bow.

It will work just fine if you do your part...bh type and sharpness will mean more...that said I like 600gn out of mid 50s bows.
I have gone down in draw weight a bit this year but still shooting near the 600gn mark
