what kind of foot pounds are necessary to take game with a bow? I primarily hunt whitetails with my bow and by each and everything I have been told, a bow is not effective past 30 yards because it wont have enough foot pounds. so what do I need?

that brings a different question, how can I calculate what my foot pounds are? I do not have a way to figure out what my speed is.
