Well, the train vs porsche theory works if you want to push a moose off the track at low speed.
If you are hunting whitetails or mule deer, the 388 is plenty if it's flying perfectly. The same theory used to be applied to rifles, but also fell to the wrong side. A 223 will kill a whitetail as dead, and more quickly, than a 45-70 when hit in the boiler room.
If you were going for elk or moose, I would tell you to go to a little heavier arrow...say 450 or so. Believe what you are seeing and disregard the ultra heavy suggestions...there are diminishing returns on both ends. I have used between 8 and 10 grains per pound for for over forty years and have had no problems with penetration.
Frankly, I don't ever want to be hit with even a 300 grain arrow with a sharp broadhead. A whitetails ribs are about the size of a carpenter's pencil and are easily penetrated. Work on your accuracy with the rig you have and be confident.
