3/5, 2 arrows to go. 50 yds. I’m calling the circle the goal,8” even though it’s prep for elk season. Days 1 and 3 stiff breezes.
Day 4 in the rain, Frogg Toggs were the uniform of the day. Probably an 8-10 mph breeze. I hunt in the rain so I better practice in it. I duplicated one photo and can't seem to remove it, so no, I'm not at day 5 yet.
Day 5. Finished! Interesting challenge but some days, your first arrow is a 50 yd shot at a trophy. But what do I know? My only bowkill over 35 yds was a 50 yard grouse years ago. The big hunt this year is for a trophy bull elk so 8" is much smaller than I need, but then again, I'm also hunting hogs in Oklahoma again.
I'm doing a guided hunt this year. The outfitter says the bulls called in tend to stop with tree between you and them, and if the kill zone is in a small window, you should be shooting. So, that's the thought process behind the 8" window for elk as the normal kill zone for a bull is the size of a trash can lid.
2914 Obsession Evolution, 60 lbs, 26.5” draw. Field points as the range doesn’t allow broadheads. Spot Hogg Fast Eddie xl. Gold Tip Kinetic 400s...Hamskea Hybrid rest. Shot at the Highlands Ranch range.
