Undoubtably the aforementioned outfitter is guiding in an area like this one. The southeastern Colorado elk all don 55 gallon drums at the beginning of the archery season and wear then until Nov 15th.

I heard of hunting "fish in a barrel," but elk?
Shouldn't he be more concerned that you can shoot your arrow through tree trunks or boulders?
I think snipe hunting starts with looking for 55 gallon drums in the woods. Those pesky snipe breed there.

getting penitration though the metal is not a problem for almost any hunting set up with a good broadhead. Getting past the curve of the barrel is. if the arrow does not hit perfectly square with the barrel it will deflect. I have proved this with raineer 16-oz. beer bottles (back in the day) with my at that time 90# compound. If hit perfectly square you shatter the bottle if not the only thing you break is an arrow!

I think everybody should test their equipment using 55 gallon drums filled with water, even the center fires. For really big game, I think a jump to engine blocks is in order. (cast iron...not those little aluminum blocks) If you can't penetrate at least two cylinders, how can you expect to get thru a moose scapula ?
Doesn't everybody do this ?
How do those modified Grizzly's hold up to engine blocks ?

I have a 48 lb longbow that shot through a steel door (maybe 1/16 or 1/8 inch each side) with a 3 blade head. Not even cut on contact.
