    Elk Broadhead Suggestions for Low Poundage Archers

    Yes, I used the stay sharp. I used a 500 and then a 2000 stone and followed up with stropping. I also sharpened the ferrule-tip like a 3 blade. I found that the metal used by QAD seems very sensitive to corrosion-dulling, so after I sharpened it I absolutely goober lubed it with chap stick to...

    Have you tried a different brand/model of release? Are you punching the trigger on your release? Might try wearing a slippery leather glove on your bow hand to try eliminating bow torque.

    Have you verified and validated that your rest is timed correctly/reasonably? How about your nock fit? Is it perfect/reasonable? At full draw? Instead of 200 grns front, how about 125/150 grns front?

    Tuning help

    When Im that situation, I go back to the basics and put a microscope on my bow. Verify and validate the bow is as close to manufacturer specs as possible. ATA, BH, timing, cam bearings not binding and free-spinning, etc etc etc

    Make sure to double check your bow from the pro shop.

    S33 Sheep!

    Ive been in that area several times for elk and mules and I highly recommend a vehicle with a better approach angle than my wife's subaru outback (19* or so). In my experience in the San Juans, your vehicle selection can really be the hindering factor for simply getting to the trailhead in first...
