It zips these XX75s at a blistering ~155 fps.
How much does your arrow weigh? I have a bunch of recurves and I have hunted with a few, but have yet to get a deer with one. Shot under a buck a few years ago. You have a longer draw length and weight than I could handle. I remember my arrows were in the 145 fps range.

Those are 653 grains, but it wasn’t on purpose to get them that heavy. Just what tuned out. I’m building some footed carbons right now that’ll be around 620. This particular bow just likes a heavier arrow. I shot around 550 when I went and did the TAC course back in the spring.
10 gpp is kind of the rule of thumb for hunting arrow weight on North American big game. Bunch of dudes using 450-500 setups that do just fine as well.
