    New sight or new bow

    I'm shooting a V3-X with a 405 grain arrow at 60 lbs and 26.5" draw. Speed the last time I checked was 262. So, you could do better with new gear on the speed front. I have not needed to use the Fast Eddie Triple Stack slider at more than 20 yards yet but it is nice. Up to 45 I need do...

    143 ELD-X blew up on the shoulder?

    I had something similar happen with the 108 grain ELD-X out of a 6mm Creedmoor. One antelope, center of chest, 100 yards. Dropped, got up, spun around and ran off. Never found her. Later, I shot another one at 275, same bullets from the same box. Center of chest, bullet penetrated a total...

    300 win mag

    Heck, at 400, my 270 will take out anything in the lower 48 with ease. 130 Hornady CX Superformance, and get out the skinning knives.

    Lighter recoiling elk rifle

    Decelerator or Limbsaver pad on the rifle. 243 or 6mm Creedmoor, 257 Roberts, 25-06, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 7-08 would all work. A fiberglass stock will also flex a bit. I'll also recommend you stick with partitions, accubonds or a copper bullet if you can find them in factory ammo for the...

    Elk Don't Exist

    I understand. When I go out in the woods with a bow, it's pretty clear that there is a restraining order keeping the elk away from me. 5 days of hard hunting on a ranch, and all that came within a long bow shot of me was seven cows from 60-100 yards for about 20 seconds. Ugh.

    Your Top FIXED blade BH

    Technically the Ramcat hydroshock is a replaceable blade head. I have found them to penetrate very well, and cut well, with openings that look like a larger mechanical. They pivot and cut both going in and coming out. The only negative to me.....you should loctite the tiny allen screws as...

    Boot problems

    Lathrop and Sons. It'll cost more than standard buy at the outdoor store boots, but my last run of blisters didn't heal for 2 months. Lathrop and Sons boots....no problems at all. I have an odd-shaped pair of feet, too...wide and high, with a narrow heel.

    How Big of a Pack for Daypack and Meat Hauling? Any Suggestions?

    Go on Ebay and look for a used Lowe Alpine frame pack. You should easily beat $100 shipped.

    Arrow Penetration....

    For all we know, the broadhead in the original picture may have come from an arrow that deflected after hitting a branch, and entered off-kilter. I don't place much stock in something like this.

    https://www.championarcheracademy.com/5secretstobeattargetpanic Give this a look. It may help. You don't have to do everything to the letter but it's a pretty good plan to get out of target panic.

    Not the regular what cartridge poll.

    Doesn't the question begin with how you are hunting? There's a different answer if you're sitting on a right shooting at elk on another ridge, versus hanging in the timber.

    Does a slider type sight work for all bow speeds

    I shoot 60 lbs with a 26.5" draw length. My Spot Hogg Fast Eddie has a tap good to 100 yards. And I once had a tape good to 130 which is great for the Jamboree or a wounded animal. Have fun.

    Broadhead Choices

    Generally, the answers you will get are "what I bought most recently." I like the Ramcats for a fixed 3 blade, and have found recently the Ramcat Hemoshock has been deadly on wild hogs. Reality is, there are a lot of excellent heads out there.

    Arrow Penetration....

    I've had two outfitters recommend expandables, one even suggesting the Schwacker 261, specifically.
