I didnt see the 4 blade, I agree ,, 2 blade would be my choice with that set up,,

I appreciate people with experience reassuring me that it should be enough. I have no experience with elk hunting yet. I am hoping to go out with some neighbors to do some scouting this year. My wife and I have a total of three deer tags this year one archery doe tag and 2 muzzle loader buck tags so with meat processing and tanning hides I'll have quite a bit on my hands I'm planning on using these same arrows for the doe this year. If it all goes to plan then my very first big game animal will be taken with traditional equipment.

Arceryrocks...Sorry I misunderstood that you had made the modifications to your broad head.If you can fulfill at least some of your tags that would be great.Good luck.A lot of meat on a good sized elk compared to a whitetail,but a bit more work though too which is understandable.

Archeryrocks,
Good luck with the deer and the elk!  We drew "long season private land "doe tags over here in Colorado, and I think we are going to try archery and muzzleloading.  Making meat is another part of the equation :-D (SH) :NN!  You do have to consider the "elk math theorem" when trying to get an elk out
"One guy 33, and one guy, 66, does not equal 3 guys 33!"   Been there, done that >:D!  I would just like to. Get a shot this year!  Again, good hunting!

It does not take a lot to penetrate 10 inches and double lung an elk. Close shots and hits in the kill zone.

BowEd:
I've never elk hunted but shoot with fellas who do and have with success with long bows.An elk has quite an engine and can go quite a ways at times.Getting a pass through would be desireable for ease of blood trailing reasons but not neccessary.
It's a great challenge but doable.Good Luck.Post your results!!!
