I shot all of mine but one including the two I got with a bow behind the shoulder usually when the leg was forward [two were with 54cal. PRB] the one that was coming strait at me I hit center front of the chest. one of the ones I got with PRB weight in at a bit over 600 by calculated live weight we had a quite a time getting him to the boat as we were 35 miles in to the wilderness and only my wife was with me it took us a half a day to move him a 100yds.

thanks for those pics lee. I will study those and burn that into memory. Basically shoot them center of the shoulder. I'll see how that Powerbelt does on it LOL.

Oh you bet!! I'll be using the 348gr Powerbelt with my insert (362g total) with between 90-100gr RS in the Accura. My brother also will be using this same load for cow elk.

See Avatar pics to see the performance that 362 offers!
