We hear all the time that you only need 40lbs to kill an elk if you "put the arrow where it needs to be"
Well guess what, this is hunting, there are twigs, animals move, we are humans and twitch and that is when the arrow gets sent where it doesn't need to be.
I can draw my 80 lb bow in -25 with all my clothes on or after hiking up a mountain for a sheep.
Being able to shoot a high KE/poundage bow effectively helps stack the deck more so in my favor.
Being able to shoot through a 1100lb bull elk at 50yrds or a quatering deer that you hit in the flank and it comes out his off side shoulder is a great feeling.
