I had the fortunate experience of meeting a fellow a couple of years ago at the range. He seemed to be struggling greatly while pulling his bow back. I was going to let him know that I thought that he might be over bowed.

After a little chit chatting I had to ask what he was pulling. He let me know that he was shooting 90 lbs and was working his way up to his 110 lb bow. I just had to ask what on earth he was planning to hunt? He informed me that he was preparing for his 6th trip to Africa and was intent on shooting an elephant.

It had been some time since the last time that I spoke with him, and I ran into him at a local bow shop.
The first question was to ask him how his hunt turned out. The information that I received, and the pictures that I saw were unspeakable. He killed a 6,000 elephant cow, and also had time to harvest a hippo. This guy proved to me that anything is possible if you put your effort into it. He is no young lad either. I would say that he is well into his 60's and may be close to 70.

What a treat to talk with this guy and find out what it takes as far as equipment to hunt elephant effectively.
