Well not everyone in archery section has bowhunted Elk either!!!!
Yes that arrow should do fine. what kind broadhead you plan on using with it. A good cut on contact type will help do the trick.

Really! What are they, as I haven't seen any regs. that preclude their use as long as they open up to a minimum width that is specified for any broadhead?

OR is one state that does not allow expandable broadheads.
If you want my honest opinion I would use the Rage head for deer and change to something else for an elk. ANY super shart fixed blade head will do good.
If you have to use an expandable (and the state allows it), there has been good success with the new Ulmer Edge.
