If you were aware of your gun's drop at that distance and made your own range estimation to compensate for drop.....I'd have to say it was a fantastic shot.
But, if you think you were just lucky, and that you had no idea it would drop that much...the shot just ended up in the vitals by good luck...then it was a darn lucky but bad shot.
Congrats on your elk, and I'm guessing GOOD SHOT.
