I cut average strip sizes of abut 5"x12" or so, not real exact but I just went with a general size and I am only getting 6" of penetration from maybe 10' with a draw weight of 62#.

I think even with a 70# speed bow I wouldn't get much more than 8" of penetration so it is more than good enough for my setup.
