No one has said this yet but it comes to mind for me. Though I have never been elk hunting, I would think the shear size of the animal would easily allow you to Kentucky windage one. I mean from spine to bottom of chest has to be quite big. You can but, don't think for a minute that all the shots are in open country. Coastal Oregon has some jungles. Had a bull 3 years ago at 10yds and could only see his antler tips.

I set my pin for my max yardage for my setup. It's easier for me to judge deer at close yardage verses at farther ranges. That why I set my dial for the longest range of my setup on that hunt.

I wish we could do that here. I guess we could if we were trail hunting. I prefer the run and gun method of elk hunting. I typically glass, find the bull, and get after it. About the only time me or me and a hunting partner have an actual set-up is if we're doing some blind calling in the middle of the day. You guys should try elk hunting during the rut somewhere. It's a friggin blast to have one bugling and at times sound like a train coming to your calls. With that said, they can also be as quiet as a whitetail coming in as well.

I would love to go back. Here's what I would do, if I were to go back. I would set my pin at 40 yds while walking around. When I struck one and worked in to start calling, I would take a couple ranges to see if I needed to adjust my sight.

With my bow's speed, 327 FPS chronographed, I was able to set my sight at 35 yds and have no more than a 4" variance from the point of aim out to 45 yards. For elk, this is more than close enough to be in vitals if if aiming center mass. If I knew my shot had just extended to 45 yards, aiming top of the vitals would be fine. Sight Picture is clearer for low light conditions.
If I'm going to take a shot over 45, Then I want a calm animal and an accurate yardage, the risk of wounding is too great at those distances to not commit to having the above two criteria.

Another question for the single users... How confident are you in the quality of your sight being strapped to a pack for 2 to 18 miles of hiking and biking on a daily basis? Talking realiability

Big difference sitting in timber in a fixed position vs shots from 10 to 60, 70yrs.. Not that I would shoot one at 70

I tried the single pin thing for one season and went back to my multi pin sight. I didn't like having to adjust the pin all the time. Also I hunt the woods more than I do on open fields. On a 40+ yd shot in the thick stuff if there is a limb at 20 yds that would affect my shot, with a multi pin sight all I have to do is look at the 20 yd pin. If it is close to that limb the arrow will most likely hit it. Some people love the single pin. Some don't. You'll just have to try it to see if it is for you. This is what I am currently using. Pins set at 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, and 55 yds.
