Default RE: Is my new set up sufficient for Elk?

To each his own. You're going to get responses that you can kill anything with that... it's all arrow placement blah blah blah blah blah. You're also going to get them saying no way in hell. You didn't tell us what speed you're getting or your arrow weights. So guessing at some components and bow speed I come up with a K.E. of somewhere between 52-57 foot pounds. In my mind you would be well served to beef that up somehow. Either increase your bow weight, arrow weight combination to get over 60. But hey, that's my free advice and cost you nothing. Just saying that since it's a once in a lifetime thing and not something you get to try very often.... I'd go prepared to allow for that "Less than perfect arrow placement". It's your money.... you decide.
