without knowing your exact KE I can't say for sure, but I would bet it is on the low side. I think you would probably be better off with a quality fixed blade head. Their are several on the market now that that fly very well and penetrate deep. The two new heads from NAP The Crossfire and Nitron, wasp boss bullet, Magnus stinger 85 grn all shoot just like field points and penetrate better than most other heads.

What does your arrow weigh?
Head to www.bowjackson.com and use his arrow weight calculator and KE calculator to help determine this.

OK guys, what KE is good for whitetails. I know how to figure it from all of the posts but what number should I try to get to for mechs. Maybe this will help out 1turkeykiller.

Thanks Trushot. I have searched this forum some and couldn't find anything. My son really wants to use mechs this fall. He is shoot 63lbs with a 27 in draw. I will be getting a weight on the arrows so I can compute the KE for him soon.
