Id say I did OK, deer on the other hand I have had the honor to shoot a few.. either way shot placement is key, doesnt matter what animal... all im saying is with groups that good the shoulder should never have been a issue.......
Hey all this is all just fun and games. I don't mean to piss any body off. I will do what I will do and it does not matter what anybody advises otherwise. That is just the monster inside of me.I love to hunt Elk with my bow and I will take every possible advantage that is available. This year that just so happens to be the XLR8. Don't try to convince me otherwise it will not work.Now just be satisfied that you have tried to convice me that I do not need the Monster at 80 lbs. I am getting it and there is nothing you can do to stop it, well other than cut my arms off.
So what you are saying then is you are a calm cool cat regardless and you make a perfect shot 100% of the time. You are patting yourself on the back a little to much. If you want a little respect then you are going to, at some point in time, admit that you are not perfect.Chuck Adams will even admit that he has made bad shots, are you better than him?

I saw a thread with wapitihunters elk kills on here a while back...........I will say he is pretty damn good at killin elk!!!

And you really are full of yourself. When you have been in the company of as many elk as I have then I might listen but...........................................Nope I am not listening this time. You have a few years before I will reaspect what you say about hunting Elk. It has nothing to do with how many elk I have shot at, shooting in a shoot off style comp is 10 x's the nerves and pressure of hunting and the "moment of truth".. its not even close.. but as you said you are not a target shooter, just a hunter so you have no CLUE what im talking about, and I have had big bulls scream in my face at under 15yrds.... so I may not have killed as many as you, but I have been in close and had the nerves and seen huge bulls. again its not even on the same level as having people watch you and shooting side by side arrow for arrow against your oponent when $$ is on the line.. ask any good target shooter/bowhunter and they will back that up....... so combine shooting year round at a high level, knowing and learning from some of the best shooters in the country and shooting 1000's of arrows a year. that is why I make my shots count on animals......
