RE: Bow range,pratice for elk.
Some states like Idaho still have the 65% let off rule. I too limit my shots at 40 yards, but I do practice up to 60. The longest shot I have taken at a elk was my very first bull. He was 35 yards away. In the 12 years that have passed since that bull I have learned to become patcient (sp?) and let the elk get close, very close. I have killed a couple between 20 and 30 yards but my last 3 have all been under 20 yards.
