Never aim above midline on an elk or moose, strive for 1/3-1/2up the chest cavity 3-4 inches behind the front leg. It’s money. The picture of the elk I posted above was the result of a “mis-dialed” sight at closer range (under 20). Even at that distance the thick bottom of a shoulder blade stopped the arrow dead. I still have the shoulder blade with the broadhead in it as a reminder to do better.
