RE: Best place to shoot an elk??
manboy - Actually, I shoot both Goex 2F and Pyrodex RS. I have not done a comparison side by side with each one, but have shot them both at different times of each other. It would obviously not be a good idea to try and aim for the shoulder blade if faced with a quartering to you shot, but I am meaning to aim for the upper joint in the arm. That bone is large, but the likelihood of actually hitting it would probably be pretty small. Either way, if you put a bullet into that area, it would still easily make it into the heart/lung area. (according to the diagram on the other post).
