Elk Killed, and only moved 10 Paces
I had to make this post, especially for Ol' Hot Core, maybe RC too!. My son Steve, drew an archery tag for cow elk, near Williams Arizona. Now I know this will drive Hot Core Nuts, but the shot was @ 20yds, and the cow was down and out within 10 paces. DRT. Too bad it wasn't with the 270 Winchester, it would have only moved 1 pace, LOL~! I will post some pics in the next couple days, and then, I'll post some pics of my elk hunt on the 24th. Now I know some of you guys will knock us for shooting cows, ok with us, and your privilege. You know, I have never eaten any cow elk meat that was NASTY, like some of the bulls. I am sure I will have a shot between 20 yds, and 150 yds. Piece of cake. 20 to 50 yds, head shot, after that 3 ribs back.

I'll keep the posts fresh,as things happen.

Regards to All!!

PS who needs a super loudenboomer, when you can make these kind of shots?

Went 10 paces??? Obviosly "not enough" cutting width and bow power. animal
