<< < (6/6)

Robb, I shot 2 elk in Colo. archery with a 49# recurve an she is a dog in fps. Shot placement an getting close is more important than K energy, Now for your choose of broadheads, I suppose I'm going to whiss somebody off but here goes, I personally would not use a vented head, :o :o >:( 2 blade solid is much stronger. What ever you use make sure they are hair popping sharp, Elk hair is like a dirty scrub brush an can dull blades fast, keep that in mind when ya start skinning, keep your knife out of the hair and under the hide. Their, just my .02 worth ;D. Bob

PAHunter:
That sounds like good advice Bob, thanks.  You should come out this year and make it 3 elk!   ;D  ;)

HickoryBill:
I second that Bob. One last Hurrah for Elk..and this time with a selfbow!

It is all about being a smart Bowhunter first you must be able to hit what you are aiming at them mean shooting a bow and arrow combo that you can handle. second is shot placement you got to put it in the boiler room they don't go far when you do that. Third you can be taking TV shot you have to get in close. Fourth make sure your broadhead is scary sharp.Thats my 2 cent.
