RE: POST YOUR ELK SETUP please
I shoot a Pearson Spoiler at 78lbs.
I shoot 30" 2216' s with a Wasp Camloc tip.
Not sure of the arrow weight, I' m not a techie. I just know they shoot great. I tune with paper, etc, but never used scales. I' ve been shooting 35 years, since I was 6. I shoot barebow and fingers, instinctive.
I' ve taken 18 elk in the last 18 years. Several have been pass throughs and all my shots have been under 40 yrds.
I think the biggest mistake made is thinking that there are just no elk in the country. No bugling(you wouldn' t believe how close a bull could be without you hearing there bugle. Just a small ridge and a breeze makes a big difference), no new sign, etc. So they basically quit hunting hard and give up. Of course you want to be in an area that shows lots of sign, butthese are big animals and they cover alot of country fast. Never say never. What was arren yesterday could be filled with bugles tomorrow. I can' t tell you how many of our bulls are taken on the last day, the last hour.......my wife says that I do it on purpose. And you know what, she' s right. I don' t quit.
