First bow advise
He has the money. If he shoots everything on the rack at his local store, one will shoot better and/or feel better to him. True story: I took a friend to buy a new bow years ago. He had just gotten a significant bonus check, so he was ready to splurge. He shot every one and the best for him... -

Garmin inreach mini vs inreach explorer
I have a Mini. It works well and charges very quickly with a solar panel. Paired with your phone, it is easy to send messages. Money well spent. -

Nosler 150 BT for 7mm-08
Ballistic tips have a reputation for expanding a lot. I would use an Accubond instead, hands down. -

What did you do today to get ready for archery season?
Ta406, get a brace that prohibits any side to side torque. I found I can walk quite well that way with a sprained ankle......well, at least to a tolerable level of suck. -

Colorado First Rifle Advice Requested
Elk bed on north slopes most of the time, at least in Colorado. Find beds, and escape routes. Watch the escape routes, preferably from more than 100 yds away. I've killed 14 elk off one ridge that way. -

Best .300WSM bullet for elk
I've only used two bullets in my 300 WSM, Accubond and Barnes TSX. I may be unusual but the Accubond has given me better performance. -

Colorado Archery Advice
Hunt when you can, maybe during the week would lessen the pressure a bit. The water holes are still social spots for the bucks, whether there's water or not. Antelope hunting is fun, try to do as much of it as you can. -

First Time Elk Hunt For Disabled Hunter - Requesting Insight & Advice
Have you heard of the Physically Challenged Bowhunters of America? You'd probably learn quite a bit from those folks. I would plan on bringing a couple of peanut butter and bacon sandwiches or something as you'll burn a lot of calories hiking. You need a knife, too. -

How far would you pack out an elk
Farthest about 3 miles. Worst was 2 miles in a heavy rain, two steps up, one step sliding back. And the downhill in the rain was treacherous. Of course, that was in my pre-Kifaru days so the pack broke halfway out on the first load. -

What about scope caps?
Those would not work for me, a lefty. The LH bolt knob will hit the edge of the release button. For me, it's a neoprene cover or one made from a tire tube. -

Is 60# compound bow enough for elk?
The late Shari Fraker killed 24 good bulls with a 50 lb round wheel compound. So, 60 lbs on a modern bow should do just fine. -

Hornady ELD-X Ammo issues
I had the same problem last year with a 103 ELD-X out of a 6mm Creedmoor. One pronghorn, 100 yds, witnessed hit in the chest at 100yds, dropped, then got up and ran off. Never found her. 2nd one, 275 yds, penetrated about 4", recovered that one. I won't use ELD-X bullets any more. Can't...
