krp Report post Posted September 20, 2018 The minimum is 30lbs in az, there are some people that can kill an elk with 30lbs and others that have no chance with 80lbs. A bow tuned to the spine of your arrows and sharp broadheads is the key at any poundage... and the nerves to make the shot. Kent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
recurveman Report post Posted October 2, 2018 My wife just shot a bull with a bow in September. She shot the bull at 40 yards in the ribs. The arrow penetrated up to the vanes and went through and put a hole on the opposite side. She was shooting 42#'s with a 26.5" Full Metal Jacket arrow and a cut on contact broadhead. I was impressed that she got that much penetration. I think it could be done with less weight but I don't think I would recommend it. Personally I wouldn't shoot a broadhead at an elk that was an opener. I also want a smaller diameter hole to go deeper into the animal not a large hole that only goes a few inches.
