Dream of...probably not cape or elephants but, for whitetail and elk and most other animals on the planet you're fine.

I would say you are fine for any animal you can shoot at, except those like the cape buffalo or elephant.

preamble - choose and use an appropriate holding weight stick bow that's apropos for the critters yer hunting.
now with that correct holding weight stick bow, here's my minimum criteria for anyone's hunting stick bow arrow ...
9gpp, consistent accuracy at sane hunting distances, great flight, uber sharp coc broadhead.
looks like yer good to go ...

yes! more than enough. i shot a bull elk this year with a BW recurve pulling 53 lbs at my short draw 26 inches. i had a 550 grain arrow. i burried the arrow up to the fletchings. he ran 200 yards.
that is plenty of power stroke to kill anything in North America
