#50ish elk rigs

[Biathlonman]

I appreciate it.  Never really tried the 600+ arrows out of high 40s bow until today.  They actually looked pretty darn good.  ~640 grs. Was right at 145 out of the little bow.  By no means an "elk" bow, but a good plan c to have in my back pocket.  There is certainly a trajectory difference from the 500 gr. Arrows I was shooting, but my brain seems to be able to adjust to the slow arrows quicker.  Maybe that says something about me!

Back before I knew any different I shot a cow elk with a 50# longbow, cedar arrow, and 4 blade broad head.  Good thing that elk hadn't read the internet... otherwise it wouldn't have died so easily.

forget the speed thing and go with heavy arrows and 50lbs will be plenty...i started in the 60's with a 50lb cheepy bow and the elk died just as well then as they did when i shot 83lb's custom bows in the 80's...now i kill them with 54lbs

remember the aveage bull is 19 inches wide at the back of the ribs and about 12 or less up front where you want your arrow...they're not monsters!!!
