is this sufficient for elk?
Pat B:
I uses a 56@26" sinew backed osage bow both times I went elk hunting. No elk showed up either time but I was confident with my set up when I went.
nclonghunter:
If you could put me on an elk I would be glad to test it for you..... (AT)
Archeryrocks:
I haven't personally hunted elk yet I live in Utah, and I want to but I haven't done it yet. That's why I'm questioning because it's all pretty new to me
PEARL DRUMS:
I would have zero reservations if I were you. Keep your shots under 25 yards and I see no issues. A razor sharp 2 blade steel broad head doesn't take much to penetrate. I believe fresh whitetail hide requires 1.9# of kinetic energy to pierce.
aaron:
As others said, it's mostly all about shot placement- how big are your groups at 15 yards? 25 yards? How did you estimate your arrow speed? 150 fps at only 24 inches draw makes that bow way above average. Your arrow is pretty heavy for your setup. If I were you, I'd shave 100 grains off that arrow and retune. Also, keep your shots close enough that your groups at that distance are all within a paper plate.
