Outdoor, I guess my beef is that I simply have a problem when it comes to shooting elk in the neck, if thats what you want to do then more power to you. You stated that you have learned to be a neck shooter for 20 plus years, then it seems you are promoting neck shots. I don't have a problem with deer w/ rifle, but with a bow and neck shots its a whole different ball park...
An elk, they are tough as nails, I don't recommend a neck shot and when it comes to bow and arrow, my rule is-- Don't even think about it!!! Why? you might ask... Hmmmm lets see, have you ever skinned a elk and actually looked up close and felt the neck of an elk? Well try to visualize a broadhead going through all that elk hide, muscle and bone!! A broad head is designed to kill by cutting and I guarantee you are'nt going to get much cutting in the neck...Be a tru ethical hunter, wait for your shot, and put that arrow behind the shoulder in the boiler room, and listen to this rule--Double lung a bull hung...
