[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1435883, member: 99519"] Agree with a lot of what is be said here... I have killed several elk with a bow...ranges from 6' to 50 yards... The correct weight arrow to the poundage and cam power is what should be considered....in other words...kinetic energy.... I always tried to stay above 400gr of arrow weight...most times my best shooting was at 415-420gr...with any bow speed...heavier arrows stay on the string longer in comparison to liteweight arrows...albeit not much...compare it to a rifle shooting 140gr vs 170gr bullets.... Muzzys are decent broadheads...killed a couple animals with them as well as many other broadheads.... Graphite arrows do break inside of animals...when the animal jumps or turns the arrows sometimes get snapped off between the ribs...the shoulder also snaps them... I have watched dying elk reach back and pull arrows out of themselves...it absolutely amazing what some animals do.... A correctly placed arrow will kill any critter...and some incorrectly placed arrows will also.... Some critters just take more convincing to fall over dead...even with rifles...... Figure it this way....all the practice you have put in...and you got to shoot your elk many times......sounds like lots of fun to me..... [/QUOTE]
