Is a 70 pound bow with an Iron Will broad head enough to blow through an elk at 60-70 yards?

[Mighty Mouse]

Can it? Yes.

Will it? Depends on shot angle and placement.

My 64lb bow pushed a 465gr arrow with a ViperTrick blew right thru my cow elk last year at 60yds.

60 - 70 yards ? Y’all are missing the best part of bow hunting elk. Bulls need to be coming in screaming all caked in mud, pissing all over themselves at 15 to 25 yards up close and persona. Nothing like it.

In my mind if you have to ask this question to people on the internet you probably shouldn’t be shooting at elk at 70 yards. I do not know the answer. But I sure as hell would not take a 70 yard shot not having any idea what my arrow will do when it gets there. Anything is possible with any shot. I’ve seen very lucky outcomes. That does not make it ethical for me.

Blow the lung right out of their body.

 

[Dennis]

You might, but probably not.

You can't buy long range success or accuracy. "NO excuses" in hunting.

 

[Keener22]

If you can hit it in a spot where you can get a pass through, yes.

Just better be able to hit that spot when you’re exhausted from not just a day, but days worth of hiking and hunting, maybe out of breath and with your heart beating through your chest and adrenaline pumping.

I envision a long blood trail with 50/50 results.

He said an arrow, not a 9mm.

70 pounds? "You got to pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers"

What is considered a pumped up number? The v3 maxes out at 70

 

[Tillman752]

That’s good to know

It’s a joke, lot of ”influencers” these days saying you need #90 to kill an elk. #70 is more than enough.

Oh yeah I agree I seen that before it is kind of ridiculous brother

This.

Draw weight is almost irrelevant…. Broadhead brand is almost irrelevant….
Arrow flight (ie. Are you tuned with perfect arrow flight?) arrow weight, arrow speed, broadhead sharpness, broadhead design. These are the important factors.

28.5 draw, 70 lbs, with a 530 grn arrow zipped tipped with an iron will through a bull at 40 yards last year. But it’s far more about shot placement, draw length, you hit solidly in the shoulder blade where it’s meaty and you will be lucky to get one lung

 

[Hnthrdr]

Ding ding we have a winner!!!

A guy that asks a question like that will be busy shitting his pants while his site pin in shaking like he has Parkinson’s syndrome.

But how will you kill the next “fire bull” if you don’t ask the internet how your Gucci set up works on bulls at 70 yards? I guess just best to aim for the guts and find him as a dead head next year while you live stream your shed hunting right?

Full disclosure I shoot a semi Gucci set up haha

I say be much more concerned with exiting the animal than just reaching it.

yes, but i would still add an arrow to the equation to be sure... would take a hell of an overdraw too
