im from colorado, a conical only state. I've bagged more game with POWERBELTS than you've witnessed in the field.
Why hit the shoulder? theres tons of good meat to ruin. Especially on an elk.
BTW: I'll be setting my dad up this year with 80gr BH209 and a 300gr Powerbelt PLATINUM
My brothers 54 and my 50 are all set and ready for round balls after this evening, so its just a waiting game now.
