What bow for elk?

[cacciatore]

I have not yet decided wich one to take for my elk hunt.This is one of my beloved Custom Kodiak with some Rose Oak limbs.What's your choice?
 

[cacciatore]

60#-@29" CE 350 -620grs. 270 up front.

This bow is very accurate,I rank it in the first 2 or 3 brand.Very quiet like the best foam/carbon limbed recurves and plenty fast like some of the best custom I own.It is a bow that is too often overlooked.

My choice is an EagleWing Standard D and R longbow. 64 in, 64 lbs. black limbs with single Carbon on back. I just have this thing for onepiece bows.

Cacciatore,I don't know how you could be better equipped.I have been going round and round about which bow to hunt with this year and I keep coming back to my Bear takedown with Rose Oak limbs.I have never owned a bow that was a better shooter and it is fast and very quiet.Good luck to you.I think you have the perfect setup.I hope you take lots of pictures.

[cacciatore]

Jim,me too and not just of my bow.....

[Wannabe1]

Don't see 'nothin wrong with that setup. Have at it, good luck, stay safe and shoot straight!

Beautiful set up Felix!

If I ever had the chance to go elk hunting I would have to carry the exact same set up. Bear TD and Rose Oak Limbs.

[Sixby]

Brandon sure builds a beautiful set of limbs. You Bear owners are b lessed to have him doing that.

Cacciatore, you hunting elk in Oregon this year? If so, how can you hunt here without bringing a Blacktail back to Oregon? haha
That looks like an elk combo!

[Keith Zimmerman]

Love the setup.  I have the same hat:)  My go-to Elk bow is my Bighorn.

Fleix, Love the set up cant beat those Bear T/D

[Ragnarok Forge]

The one you shoot the most accurately with.  Hitting the spot is the most important part of killing an elk.  I hunt with 55lbs in an R/D longbow.  I draw 30.25 inches and shoot 584 grain arrows with 400 grains up front.

heres my elk bow for this year and many years to come.griffin l/b

[Bigriver]

Hopefully I will get to see that rig in camp this year Felix! Too bad you shoot from the wrong side    I will have my new Bigriver 2piece curve by then.

Hey my friend ,I'm sort of in the same boat.I'm going to take 3 .My SA Widow,Super Shrew Deluxe and My big Jim Thunderchild.What the Heck! Whatever you take and you probably have more than anyone I know .You will make the right choice and with your beautys and the way you shoot you will be successful.talk to you soon.

Felix,what about your ZIPPER????????

The bow you shoot best.

I have myself had the blood drain from my body when a bull is standing there looking at you at spitting distance.

I once called in a bull for a total stranger from Texas- and I kept that bull coming in and presenting a shot; and the guy never did. I would have shot it if I had known his knees were knocking together; his gut was twisted; he had no sweat left; and was shaking like a rattlesnakes tail.

Don't laugh ( OK you can but keep it down) but it can happen to anyone- and bulls have a way of doing it to a person.

I think if I had a dollar for every elk hunter that has used toilet paper after a close in bull encounter - I could buy a new truck and a house with a garage to park it in.

So use the bow that you are best with; and practice with your knees knocking together; and you should be OK.

that is one nice bow you got there !

Good luck on your hunt - don't look at the antlers; until they are laying on the ground !!

I'll be shooting the osage stick in my avatar, but Felix, you'd be a fool not to hunt with that beautiful Bear with Rose Oak limbs.
