Ive shot and killed 3 elk with my bow 70lbs with a 425 grain arrow.  Only one was a complete pass thru at 7yds.  The other two 20 and 25 yards didnt.  I think a heavier arrow is a good idea.

The last three elk I've shot have been at 26, 48, and 52 yards. one cow and two spikes. The cow at 26yards was the only one that I didn't get a pass thru. The bulls both passed thru, breaking ribs in and out.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

That's a legal arrow weight!  He said it was 425 grains... It only has to be 420 grains...

No big deal Rob!  Speaking of arrows... I think I may have to start shooting the stack of arrows I have laying in my truck as target practice...  :rolleyes:
