Elk cow right at 50 yards. She was in a draw down hill standing right next to a tree I just lasered at 50 yards. I hope to get closer next time!
I have 3 pins, 30, 40, and 50 yards, and have a mark on the 50 yard pin (vertical pin) for 60. I don't practice at 20 any more. I work on 30 and 40 yards, and take a few shots at 10 and 20 to make sure I know those holds.

My broker has taken a mule deer at 93 and a antelope at 78

I practice to 60 but wouldn't shoot at a animal past 40



For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Did you make a full pass thru, what broadheads do you elk hunt with?

I killed a Y.O I bex that scored like 3 in the books this year at 67.3 yards.

My dad killed big Addax bull at 84 yards last year 1 arrow.
This year he killed a big blesbok that went #2 in the books at 127 yards.

38 for me, but I'm more about closer. My usual shots are about 18 yards, and closest kill was right at 5 yards.

Did you make a full pass thru, what broadheads do you elk hunt with?

I was shooting a Rage 2 blade. It did not give me a full pass through. I found out I do not like mechanical broadheads that can come open very easily. This year I will be going back to my tried and true fixed 3 blade broadheads. I'm shooting my arrows at 255 fps, so a fixed blade should do fine. We have another archery elk hunt in Sept I'm getting ready for. I can't wait.

42 yards on my 43" Oryx earlier this year. Other than that 32-33 yards on whitetail. I don't take shots on whitetails past 35. I practice out to 45 habitually and I'm very comfortable but there's to much that can go wrong between arrow release and impact at 30 yards plus on an animal.

I use a 4 pin setup, with pins at 20,35,45,55. But shooting a bow that is able to shoot a 450gr arrow and over 300 fps really helps with longer shooting not to mention the KE that it has.
