[QUOTE="pockets380, post: 992124, member: 30350"] Has anybody ever had an elk rib stop their arrow? I took a shot on a spike a couple nights ago at 60 yards. I shoot a 70lb bow with a 456 grain arrow. He was completely broadside. After the shot he trotted off and hearded up with about 30 other elk. My arrow wasn't sticking out like it should be it was hanging down. I watched them until it got dark and I couldn't see anymore. I decided to let them be and come back in the morning. I went out in the field where I last saw them. No blood, no arrow. The elk were only about 200 yards from the spot just heading into the tree line. I made my way over and saw the spike. He was pretty unique and unmistakeable. His spikes made a 90 degree turn and followed his ears. No arrow in him and just a little ruffled spot in the hide. The shot was in the lung area. I couldn't get another shot. The only thing I can figure happened is my arrow center punched a rib and just stopped. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
