I'm 16, and I live in North Central Montana, just off the rocky mountain front. I've killed 3 cow elk with my rifle, and this year was my first attempt with a bow. My first day out, I got a 40 yrd shot at a really nice 6 pt bull but was shaking so bad I think the arrow went behind me...I did however, hit the next elk that stepped out in the heart, which didn't have any horns, so I was rock steady of course...and to add to an already great weekend(I killed the elk on saturday), I went antelope bow hunting the next day, and stalked and killed a 15 inch buck with my bow...I LOVE bowhunting and have a hoyt ultratec ordered, and will be practicing at least 3 times a week, because next year I AM going to get that bull!!!
