My first elk ever. I’m from Southern Illinois and got the elk in North Central Montana on a public land unit. It was an all day stalk in 30+ mph winds which helped me close the distance to 30 yards. The shot blew THROUGH his right scapula, hit both lungs and stopped as it split a rib on the left side. The penetration was unreal. Shot with a Mathews VXR on 75# draw. He scored 333” with a cool devil tine for a 6x7. He was 6 year old bull and will feed my family for a while! Fixed blades, heavy arrows and high FOC for the win!
I switched to the 650 system and all I can say is wow. I just killed another elk in gold beach Oregon. Full pass through and my other arrow angled and broke only because he hit the ground and snapped it.
This is actually the first animal she has ever harvested with her bow and the first time she has ever come to full draw on an animal. She had about a 15 yard shot and the cow only went about 30 yds.
44 yards with the grizzlystik 650 setup and a 200 grain masai broadhead blew straight through the entrance shoulder and exited the left chest of this bull he went 200 yards and piled up.
