just wondering what numbers some of you aim for concerning KE and momentum specifically for Elk
Get an arrow of at least 400 gr., pair it with a strong and efficient broadhead, and then shoot as much weight as you can comfortably handle. No disrespect intended, but I wouldn't take advice from anyone who wants to talk in terms of KE or momentum when recommending archery tackle. That's the fodder of guys who do more honing of their bowhunting skills on the internet than in the field.
KE is a useless number and it drives me nuts that the archery industry has adopted it.
Holy five year old thread resurrection!
I think it’s beneficial to NOT get too wrapped up in paper numbers... maybe if you are a really short draw/light poundage person, but besides that, avoid extremes and you will be fine.
I have tried a lot of arrow builds, and have settled in the most boring range, middle of the road, around 525gr with my 28.5” draw, and 73# draw weight.
