What bow for elk?

[cacciatore]

The problem is I have to many bows in my stable.My project is to kill a animal with every single one,but I don't have so many season left!
Plus for sure I have my favourites.Most bows are as good as I am.It is the time you spend with your to go bow that make it your favourite.

Snag,I was planning to come elk hunting in Oregon,so the Blacktail would have been my choice,but PapaBear had some issues so we are looking for 2011.
2011,would be pretty busy for me because I want to join Steve Clandinin as well.

Ron,the Zipper is been the last one to enter on my man cave so it is passing through the most severe test.By the way it is scoring a triple A.

Schafer Silver Tip 55#s with 500grn arrows topped with a Magnus stinger buzzcut. We'll give it a whirl on elk, deer and bear. Good Luck

DAS Daala with 55# limbs.

If it was me Felix, I'd take the green stripe!

When you draw back on an Elk and think you hear someone whisper in your ear,'Shoot', you'll know who is beside you.

Having read Vermonsters revue of those rose oak limbs, I think they will be my next purchase.

I would have to say the best bow for elk is the one that you feel the most comfortable shooting. I would also look at weight as elk are big and have a lot bigger bones than say a deer. Good thing is the kill zone is bigger than a paper plate. Good luck and get some blood on an arrow.

Well, since I didn't get drawn this year ... next year (if I get drawn) I'll be using my '72 Howatt Hunter 50@28. I'm thinking I might get some Victory 350's cut to 29" with 280 grains up front, total weight should be about 560gr. I think that should do the trick.

Unless I buy a long bow before then ...

Hi my late night friend I know whatever bow you take you will be a great shot with it. I have never owned or shot a bear takedown but I must say that is the best looking one I have ever seen. There is something realy neet about those bows and it is the only bear I have ever had the urge to buy. I hope you have a great time in Oregon I wish I could be there with you but I am going to CO. I am still trying to get the bugs worked out on my new schafer silvertip. Those are some nice looking arrows. Widow  AKA (DARREN)

If you talk to Raging Water he has some #100++ stuff you might talk him out of for a week or two.

I couldn't pull them back, but I would have to tote them around some of my compound buddies that always want to shoot my longbows.lol
