No problem.

I put the smackdown on a nice six point bull elk with my 70# Bowtech @ 70 yards a few years back.
The arrow passed completley through that bull.
The secret is staying clear of the scapula and heavy shoulder bones.
You want a double lunger stabbed cleanly through the ribcage , the sweet spot behind the elbow being my favorite.
You can never practice too much with your bow.
I have a backyard range out to 80 yards.
When you spend a lot of time at 70 & 80, those 40 & 50 yard shots are chip shots.
