Dive into Shot Angles on elk - what to look for, where to aim and what has worked for us killing elk.
First up is the desirable broadside shot. This angle is one we all dream of but has some things to be careful of...ie shoulder blade.
Next up, we analyze the quartered to shot opportunity. This is a deadly shot when taken in close range and with proper placement.
Last but not least, the controversial Frontal Shot. We break down the aiming point and when and when not to take this shot! Hope our encounters in real life will help you kill your bull this Fall!
