Elk arrow/bow combo
« on: August 18, 2015, 09:36:00 PM »
This will be my first hunt with trad gear so what do yall think about my setup. I will be shooting a 57# longbow (at my draw length) with GoldTip Traditionals 55/75's with a 150gr Magnus Stinger broadhead and 50gr insert weights so 200gr up front and a 555gr total arrow weight. They shoot very good and hit hard so I think I will be good to go. This will be a Colorado DIY elk hunt.

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!
