What’s Your Max Bow Range for Elk?

[Elkfitness]

My max is 50 if ideal conditions, 40 for 95% of the shots, but I would take a 60 yd shot on a wounded animal that I was able to stop or close the distance on. Luckily haven’t had to do that in 35 years of archery hunting. Most of my shots have been 25-30yds. I shoot on field conditions on 3d targets at the range and feel confident to 60, I just mentally can’t get past the amount of time the arrow is in the air when I think about it.

My average shot on elk is probably 20 yards. That's the point of archery. Getting close.

53 years of tournament archery where you have all day to shoot, and you know how far it is, plus countless yootube videos, proves it's a lot less than half.

Practice offen and would shoot at 60 with good conditions. Pretty big target if conditions are right.
