I know nothing about the bow, but put a good broadhead on the end of that arrow and put the arrow in the right spot and you are fine for elk.

I' m sure your setup will do the job, if you do yours.

Put a quality cut-on-contact head on the end of that stick and I wouldn' t worry about it again. Steelforce, magnus, zwikey to name a few. I personally would go with a steelforce.

new idaho record elk was just shot in idaho with a 53# darton. your bow will be just fine with a good head.
