mthunter, what are you talking about?
broadside chest shot or thru the throat and into the chest shot. if it's the throat shot, then it is risky. i have done it on deer about 3 or 4 times, but they were close 10 to 15 yard shots. i can't tell you about elk though. oh yea, i found all 4 of these deer. i was hunting out of a tree stand and the angle of the shoot sent the arrows thru the throat and thru the the stomach and into the ground each time. all four deer did'nt run over 15 yards a piece. got the heart on a couple and took out one or clipped both lungs on all 4 deer. but, i would'nt recommend just anyone taking this shot. i have the confidence to make this shot.
