im shooting a bear patriot longbow 55@28 but my draw is 25 im getting 5olbs at my draw and my arrows weigh 450grs speed is 155fps.i spined my arrows and im pretty accurate.question is do i have enough juice to kill anything?

Yes

What he says, yep.

plenty!

What everyone else says. Yep.  50@25?

With the short draw, the arrow has less time on the string and you'll get less speed.  If you pull 50 at 25" and another guy pulls 50 at 28", and the bows are similar in design and materials, he will always get better speed.  

The critters will still be dead.

You might want to try a shorter bow.

With a sharp broadhead.You can shoot through any deer I've ever seen.

I think the rule is 3lbs per inch less than 28. So that means 28-25=3x3 = 9lbs +/- less draw weight. So essentially you're shooting a 45-46lb bow. Arrow weight is perfect for that. A 45# bow will do the job on any deer. Just have a sharp point and hit the mark. Good luck!!

Limb design means more than bow length.  You have plenty of punch.  Make sure you are pulling through your release each shot, rather than using a static loose.  You will maximize the performance of your draw length that way.

Sputterman- I'm also cursed with a short 25" draw. Last season I shot completely thru a mature buck with 46# and a 475 grain arrow. Shot placement is what kills!

Yes, they're many of us with a short draw: Pig running 30yrds 43#@25.5" 2 blade 575g, blew right through.

If possible with a short draw you want to maximize your use of energy with a high performance bow and perfect arrow flight with a EFOC arrow and top broadhead.

With that kinda combo and 50 @ 25, you'll do fine.

It is enough....but a different bow could get you thoat weight arrow at that draw length to that speed  with less draw weight....or more arrow and speed at teh weight you are shooting. Don't worry about it or overthink it too much. If you can get a 450 grain arrow moving at 140 fps or more and can hit with it you are golden.

plenty, unless you are after moose or something.
