Ooooh, this should be a good thread! I can't pull weight anymore so, elk are off the list for me probably for good. But, I shore do love looking at pics! :biglaugh:

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

This year I made up some 650 grain bamboo arrows for him tipped with hunter heads.

I'll be using lighter 620 grain bamboo arrows tipped with 190 ribteks out of my 50 #Hill bow

Have missed an elk with my bow, killed one with a rifle (not the same hunt, ha). Going to Colorado next month Units 80/81 which is just across the state line from Chama, NM. We leave September 12. Can't wait! About to go shoot some more right now and working on arrows tonight. Sure hope to get to post you some "success story" pics when I get back. FWIW, there are five of us going, three stickbow shooters and two compound guys.
