I would concur with the bleeder blades. They do tend to help with the blood trails in my opinion. As for energy, A good, razor sharp cut on contact broadhead will easily go through a whitetail with your current setup if you don't hit a major bone like the shoulder. I've had many complete pass threws with the old Bear broadheads(with bleeders) and cedar arrows from bows as low as 42 lbs. Don't over think it.
Again, congratulations on your success.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I am hooked bad! I find myself going to the back yard to shoot a couple of arrows and the next thing I know, a hour has passed and the wife is asking if I will be in before it’s dark. It’s really put the fun back in archery for me. congrats on the doe. It is addicting and relaxing.Great stress reliever shooting bows

Again, congratulations on your success. Used bear razorheads several times even on elk. Actually got a pass through on a bull many years ago with just the 2 blades with a 60 lb. American recurve.

Nice deer with the ole stick and string. Good shot too!
Careful....recurve shooting is addictive

Got a longbow in the basement. If my shoulder is up to it, may need to drag it out. Its gonna take a really big backstop for a while.
Nice shot placement on that doe. Bet that was a short bloodtrail.
