What you have will do the job easily on good hits, but it's not ideal in my opinion. Elk are huge animals and if you want a good chance on less than ideal hits, it helps to have as much weight as you can easily get. On the other hand, I'm not sure that anything is heavy enough if you hit the shoulder of a large elk.

It's also getting a bit late for major changes. Get what you have working it's best and become a great shot on anything inside 40 yards and you should be just fine.

Three weeks to go until leave for my elk hunt in Colorado - can't wait!
