[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5177969, member: 2805"] Go with tiny broadheads... its all about penetration... you HAVE to drop both lungs on an elk. Only get 1, and he's going a mile before dying. I use rocket steelheads... 1 1/4 in cut. Mechanical so they fly well, but will zip thru an elk broadside. Only shoot an elk broadside or quartering away. A quartering to shot on an elk is a lost animal. Like said before, be confident at 50 yards. No reason not to drill one at that distance. They don't duck the string... and your target is the size of a beach ball. Wind can be a killer at distance though. Elk just wont tolerate any human scent... always have the wind in your favor. Their eyesight isn't great if you arent moving. Last thing... the only thing worse than killing an elk is NOT killing an elk. But jeez, they are a pain to pack out at elevation. Be comfortable quartering and deboning to minimize hauling out excess weight. [/QUOTE]
