I had one at 9 feet and couldn't get the shot, but thats another story for another day. Wish I was still out there!!!!!

65@29, MAII, 2413 Classic 31" rps insert, 75 steel insert 125 Snuffers.. 606 total grains,,
Been out, seen some bulls, but Saw, way to many folks out. 2 weeks 9 days off going to give them all heck...
been layed-up with a pinched nerve in the neck for the last few weeks.Any hopes for breaking in my new 60# daala went out the window,can't handle the weight.Sure glad I picked up a set of 42# SF limbs(for lateseason whitetails)as these are about all I can manage.I'm sure the lightweight Das, along with 600 grain of stos equipped CX 250 should do wonders on a nice close broadside bull. I leave next week; body willing. Mo.
My 16 year old son is in the middle of his first archery elk hunt. He shoots a Bighorn Ramhunter longbow, 53#, at his draw length, and pine arrows with a 145 gr. STOS head that weigh about 620 gr.
This year I'm hunting with a 3-piece Rampart longbow, pulling 72# at my draw length. I'm shooting a tapered cedar arrow with a 160 gr. grizzly tip that weighs about 700 gr.
Have a great hunt!
Mike
