Re: Bowhunting Elephant?

Quote:

I'm just quite uncomfortable with comparing heavy hunting bows to .22s.




Ben, I'm using the .22 Mag/.22 Hornet on deer {not elephant} as a way of asking the question about the killing effect of an arrow on an elephant.

Will an arrow even from a heavy bow break an elephant's shoulder? Will it reach the vitals should it hit shoulder?

I'm asking as I do not know. I have hunches, that's all.

Guys get pass thru's on elk fairly frequently from what I'm told, but I just see an elephant as a different world altogether, that is, when BONE is hit.

For that matter, has anyone seen a verified affect of an arrow squarely hitting an elephant's rib and going on?

Like you, I am curious.
