Easy shot with a rifle but archery?  I think I'd pass on this one:

under 30 yards and not moving I'd take the pocket shot.

Where would you put it?

I don't see a problem with this shot as long as it's not moving.

Anywhere in the circle kills this elk.  Don't get too far forward.....or you run the risk of missing the off side lung.

I did that 2 years ago.  Got liver and lungs.  She made it about 40 yards straight down hill before she died.

I took that shot on a spike several years ago.  I put the arrow right where that circle is dead elk, it was a dead elk in less than 75 yards.  I got both lungs it was an easy tracking, and a hard pack out.
