Default RE: Elk with your bow?

I got lucky this year and harvested my first bull. Shot a 4x3 on the first day of my hunt with a Hoyt Razortec and a Carbon Express Hunter Termenator arrow. My broadhead was a 125 Razorback.
Don't let anyone tell you that an elk doesn't jump the string like a whitetail because this one did and I was very lucky to get him. When I released he was broadside at thirty yards. By the time the arrow arrived I hit him square in the butt. When I saw him hobbling away I took another arrow and shot. This one hit him in the back of the neck at 61 yards. The broadhead went through the back of the vertibrae, severed the spinal chord and stuck in the front of the vertibrae. The first arrow went through the back ham, (but didn't pass completely through) and probably would have been lethal, but would have been a tough tracking job.
