RE: could use some arrow help
The pro shop isrecommending the wrong arrow and you'll find Gold Tips usually weigh out even heavier than what the charts say. I'm hunting elk with the same length arrow, but 75# draw and436 gr. arrows (7595 Gold Tip Pro Hunters w/ 125 gr.broadheads). Yes, you need more weight for elk, buttoo much weight defeats the whole purpose and the Big Game Hunter arrow is way too much for a 65# bow. I'd recommend the 5575 Traditional XT Hunter if you're into Gold Tips.
The key to a clean kill on elk is really the broadheads. Useone with a full ferrule tip, preferrably a125 gr broadhead if it doesn't mess up your FOC.
