What speed are you currently running with your bow, and what arrow weight? Any bow that can stick an arrow into the heart of an elk will kill one, but having a bow that will push a 2" punch cut mechanical head on a 425grn arrow clear through an elk to the other side is a lot more comforting for my use.
The ibo on my mauler is 328fps so with my dl and draw weight I figure I'm losing a bit.
No idea what weights I have, I use Easton powerflights 340 spine with 2" blazer vanes, lumenoks and 125 gn two blade rage broadheads. I agree with what you're saying though. I'm still not sure I have my draw length set right but don't have anyone to show any different. I use a release aid, so im guessing that takes a couple inches off?
