Default RE: arrow wt. on elk?

I opted for heavier arrow setups because I know I will get better penetration when it's needed most!! The same with my choice of broadheads. I like the COC especially the two bladed style with or without bleeders. Shooting my setup at 70-74lbs will blow through the scapula of an elk if NEED BE!!! It will not blow through the scapula with a muzzy 125 and a total arrow wt. of 420 grns! I found that out the hard way!!

I'm no archery expert, but it doesn't take one to know this!!

When I want expert advice I go to Elkcrazy8, believe me, he's your man, and yes i've picked his brain a time or two. I'm sure he'll agree, the heavier setup with a good COC will give you the best penetration when it's most needed. Now see, wasn't that easy? Kinda like comparing a .270 to 300mag!! Sure both will kill elk, but one of them will bust through things better than the other!!
