My plans have changed and I will be doing a DIY elk hunt in early September. My current and only setup is my Mathews Outback at 70 lbs shooting 8.2 gpi Expedition Hunters cut to 28.75 with 100 gr Muzzy fixed blade broadheads. My speed is probably 275 fps. Without fletching and nock, the weight calculates to 335.75 grains. The build sheet shows 378 with fletching and inserts. I shoot it well and have never tried anything else.
Smart guys on the web say I need closer to 500 grains. Can I just buy some 150 grain broadheads or add 50 grain inserts, resight my bow and be done or is there more to it?
Thanks. I've killed a lot of stuff with my bow including deer, javelina, hogs and bear, but elk are big suckers and don't want to do right by them.
Thanks
