On my sight selection. Hunting Roosevelt Elk during the rut is similar to hunting the whitetail rut. Things can go from 0-60 in a millisecond. Cold calling, you may see a bull come from 500yds away or in the timber, turn around and see one at 20yds. Hard to believe an animal so large can be as stealthy as a whitetail, but they are. I also like to run and gun (with bow). You can be working one bull and instantly be in the middle of 3 bulls. It gets wild every now and then and I want the performance of the sight and my equipment to be as sound as possible. I'll post some pics from hunting and of the terrain we hunt, and you will understand. Thanks to everyone so far replying to all my questions I've posted.

Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends!

I'd worry about swapping that 4 split string peep to a 2 split before I'd worry about my sight.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Are those fiddle ferns in the last picture? I think it's a sword fern but, I've never asked a local...

Killing an elk on a "run and gun" is atop my bucket list. Are you hunting public or private land? How hard is it to draw oos tags?
