selfbow elk?

(1/6) > >>

Lost Arra:
Has anyone here taken an elk with a selfbow?
Could you describe your bow/arrow setup?
Thanks

Justin Snyder:
Not yet.  I am going to in the next couple of years though.  If you are wondering what will do the job, I plan to use a 60#@29" bow with 500 grain arrows.  I think an efficient 50# bow would do the job plenty fine.  Shot placement is most important.  Justin

Coo-wah-chobee:
 64 " bow, 58 lbs @26 ".650 grain cane arra with foreshaft. Obsidian point 2 1/2 "x1 ". However like Justin said, 50 lbs would do the job with a 500+ grain arra put in the "boiler room". ;)...bob

I have taken several elk with a self bow, 58 # at 28 and 58 inches long osage ... cedar arrows and magnus heads.. Stone points aren't legal in Wyoming >:( shot placement is extremely critical when it comes to killing elk ... a lung shot will do it every time.. Good luck and happy hunting MikeA/ho

huntertrapper:
get in close. and like said a good sharp broadhead and strong bow. Good luck with the great wapiti ;)
