In hopes this topic has not been covered time and again, and my most humble apologies if it indeed has.
Ive tried searching the topics and what I have found pertains mostly to lower poundage bows.
so here goes.
I’m a very small framed hunter with a short draw length and the arrows to match, currently I am shooting a 60# Elite Impulse with a 26” draw, 25” arrows (GT hunter xt400s @ 8.2gpi), and a 100gr Magnus stinger. So total I think thats around 330grains.
Today I added a 100gr insert bringing me up to around 430gr. KE is around 57# if the gt calculator is correct.
Things seem to fly just fine at 40yds, I have not been able to push the distance so things may change with the 400 spine.
But the meat and potatoes of this question is while I am confident when I draw the bow at a whitetail or a hog, am I still too light for elk (50yds or less)? would dropping to the 340s, adding the insert, and staying with the 100gr head give me any more advantage?
are there any shooters familiar with elk that pretty much have the same specs? may I ask what combo y’all shoot?
Thanks a ton for yalls time. Very much appreciated.
