I'm up for a new challenge and honestly can't say my bow will hold up I've had bad luck lol. But figure I'll have my bear TD as a good back up! Thinking CO this year and WY next year. Plus both states have great trout fishing which is a close second passion.

Know many selfbow shooters who have killed both elk and moose!

But if I remember, it was a sharp, well placed, arrow, that did the work!   :bigsmyl:

You guys have my utmost respect.

Taking out game (especially Elk and other big and dangerous game) with wooden sticks made from staves taken from trees the way it has been done for tens of thousands of years is really the apex of hunting in my opinion.

Jeff,
2X on What Pat B said.....It just don't go with a stone head.  
That said, our mutual friend Doug uses them with his selfbows.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

The Wolf that provided the tooth was trapped on the Ranch I shot the Elk at.
