I think that will be more than enough. The more important thing is to practice to make quick and accurate shots. Also having sharp broadheads!

Add a cut on impact broad head to your setup and you should have no problem with anything from a Kudu down. They will greatly improve your penetration.
I have walked in the tracks of the elephant, heard the lion roar and met the buffalo on his terms. I shall never be the same.
