Elk setup

Just wondering if any of you thought this set up would be good for elk. I plan on shooting the cardiac at 70 pounds with a 27 inch goldtip 7595 with a blazer vanes and a 100 grain G5 striker head. Do you think this is good enough for elk? thanks

Good Choice..............

I plan on using 7595 Goldtips at 28 inches long with blazers and either Slick Tricks or G5 Strikers myself.
With the right shot, I am sure it will tackle the biggest of Elk.

In '91, fresh out of high-school, a friend and I moved out west and did a lot of Elk hunting. I used my old PSE Pulsar set at 55# and he had an older Bear recurve. We both had success for 2 years in a row. All shots were pass-throughs.

I shot the Pulsar through my chrono a couple years ago with one of the same autumn orange 2016 Eastons I used back then. 176fps!!!

I'm sure you'll be good to go. Good Luck

"The Truth About Bowhunting Elk"

I came across a pretty good 3-page Elk bowhunting article tonight by Team Primos.

Might provide some helpful info.

I did the same thing before my 1st trip. One thing for sure is to basically go where others do not and have good socks. Best advice I can give. I scored a 5x5 on that trip. Also when its hot. Look for the north facing mountain sides, thats were they like to bed during the hot days...Good luck
Shot placement, shot placement, shot placement, and be where the elk are. :-o :-o Good luck to ya.
