Well, Not by somebody who knows what there doing. That being said My first elk I shot was 70 yards away 70# mathews feather max 2216 arrows and thunderhead 125's and It was a perfict shot in a clearcut. I knew the distance exact. The bull went 52 yards and dropped. was I wrong to shoot (YES) now with more experiance I know better. I have never lost a elk and I think I am a great shooter(IMO) I shot a mountain lion at 50 yards down hill. I know my limitations , weather , wind ,sun and all the factors go into makeing long shots. If the animal is relaxed and feeding with a good broadside shot it is doable but not recomended. I was stupid to shoot that far and yea"s Lucky it worked out. I now only take 40 to fifty yard shots if the conditions are perfict and I know I can make the shot. Keep in mind I shoot a lot . More than most people dream of and it is not all at the range stump shooting is the only real practice that counts for elk hunting (IMO)
