New to archery hunting for elk
I'm new to archery hunting and new some suggestions on what bow to purchase. Also there is a lot of extra equipment in archery hunting. What is really needed and what it not?
Thanks in advice for your suggestions.

Prepare to be addicted...anything you hunt whitetail, muleys, antelope, bear, etc. will work great for elk. Basically, a bow, arrows, sight, rest, quiver, good sharp broadheads and you're good to go. My suggestion is to get the Primos Big Bull series and study up. Here's my bull from '04:

Nice 6x6 bull CG!. I have harvested 2 bulls thus far. A spike and a nice 5x5 and I'm
hooked. Ive hunted Idaho and Colorado and love hunting in both states. Once you
get it in your blood you will understand. Now, if I can just get drawn for my tag this
year I will be happy.

RE: New to archery hunting for elk
Thanks for taking the time to reply, very nice elk. That is the info that I wanted. Do you suggest any brand of bow? I was able to take a elk with my 44 Magnum in 2002. That was quite a rush. I bet shooting a elk with a bow would be incredible. My cousin bought a Fred Bear bow a few months ago and wants me to get one also. I'm just doing some reasearch before I buy one.

Shoot a bunch of different brands and styles. From top end stuff to lower end stuff. There's something for everyones style and taste. I however like the taste of Mathews. Good luck shopping.
