RE: 45 lb. Compound for Elk Hunting?
Anna that is one great bull and you did an awsome job with your bow set up. You worked hard for that elk and earned every bit of it sounds like. Congrats on a job well done.
As for the orginal topic. Obvisouly 45 lbs is enough to take down a elk.Heavy arrows, good sharp cut on impact broadheads, and a well placed arrow is the key to sucess with this outfit.Like others said, I would limit the shot range. Myself I would probably go to 25 yards max.Don't know that I would feel comfortable on a elk at 30 yards.
