bigfoot, I believe those are mechanical broadheads. I would shy away from those with 60# & elk, not the best combo there. Look at the Viper Tricks...
Countryfamily, thanks! bigfootcali, assuming your actual arrow length is close to 28" with a 29" draw you would have an arrow in the 380 grain...
countryfamily, do you have an extra heavy brass insert in front? An easton axis is 9.5 grains per inch. Here's how your arrow calcs out at 28.25...
ctrupp, at 28" & 67# you can easily stay with a .340 spine even with the 50 grain insert. This will put you at 150 grains of head wt. Nothing huge...
I too shoot 67#-- An arrow in the 415-430 grain area will suit you very well. I shoot this arrow weight & passed completely through two elk this...
I agree, an arrow in the 420 grain to 450 grain at 70# or so is an ideal arrow for the game mentioned no matter your draw length. Another is to...
This is how you look & feel at 34 & 58 (my son & I) after going down 1500' up 800' & down to the river, took 4hrs to get to this point with a...
Ha Ha, not sure how to take that! (grin) ElkNut1
58 & can't wait to hear my next bugle. (grin) ElkNut1
Just so there isn't a misunderstanding with my comment I would not rely on a .357 in grizz country either. I was referring to it with black bears....
Black bear only country .357mag -- Grizz country I'd have both pistol & bear spray on my person. ElkNut1
Killing the herd bull would have little to no effect on future elk being in that draw or basin. Other things to consider are the dates hunted, bad...
Congrats on a fine animal, well done bud! ElkNut1
I don't see where you're doing anything wrong from your description. 50% on elk is a great average when compared to statistics. I can see you like...
Oldcarp & Others, you are welcome & thanks. I will say it's not the bugle or the bugle of a bull that runs elk out of an area. When bulls with...
Bowhunting elk can be extremely addictive. (grin) The type of cow call you take is more a personal preference than brand, all will do the job if...
Yes, I see plenty of elk go down on videos with expandable heads, it's not for me though, I'll stick with a very good fixed or cut on contact...
Treestand hunting Elk is much more popular than some may feel, it is very widespread, 1000's of hunters hunt from treestands & ground blinds every...
Very nice, nothing like success! ElkNut1
Yes, I found the blades to be very secure in the ferrule, it's the blades themselves I do not have a lot of faith in. (grin) They feel very tinny....
