[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1530005, member: 52437"] I am not a long range hunter (400 yards) but I hear a lot of bagging on the CM which makes me laugh. There are a lot of posters on this thread who certainly are better shots than me and have much better equipment but lets be serious guys, if you do not find the animal then you have ZERO evidence what happened. GO over on a bow hunting thread and everyone there will state that unless you find the animal you cannot say the broadhead failed or you used too light an arrow...etc. My buddy shot a deer earlier this year and swore up and down it was a perfect shot and the new broadheads he used were garbage. I found the deer 3 days later. It was 100% a gut shot. Now my buddy is a long time hunter and has only lost one other deer bow hunting, so when he swore he made a good shot I believed him but the proof was in the deer. It was a bad shot. I am not saying that has happened here with these elk but my bet is they were bad shots hitting thick bone or guts or misses all together. All of that being said, I probably would not use a 6.5 CM on an elk myself but I doubt it was the caliber that was the problem. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
