I don't have one, but I have shot at them a few times. I would say that they they are about the size of a cow elk 2/3's grown. They are not the size of a bull, in my opinion. Hope that helps.

Had a deer..close to real size. Only trouble was it was straw colored...can of latex grey spray paint turned him into more acceptable color... till buddy's kid wanted to know why we were shootin at Eyor?!

I've got an elk u stuff it that we tied up to a steel wire and use it as a moving target.

It certainly is NOT life size and you have to squint your eyes to blurr the image enough to think it was an elk.    :D  

Having said all that it is a cheap way of having a something like and elk to shoot at.

I too had to follow Doc Nock's post and spray paint it to make it look a little more like elk colors.

If his deer looks like Eeyore then my elk looks like a stegosaurus   :bigsmyl:  

Mike Horton at the Nocking Point found one for me.  Give him a call as he is great guy.
