You are a true friend to allow your buddy to shoot that elk. It looks like a monster to me. He is to be congratulated and you are to be commended.

Shot analysis: bull was standing left to right, angled slightly away.
1. Entered an inch behind the right elbow, transecting the body cavity and disintegrated in the area between neck left shoulder.
2. Missed, cold fingers and light triggers. Short stroked the bolt, expletive deleted, enough time for me to say slow is smooth smooth is fast.
3. Bull had turned 180, bullet entered just in front of diaphragm angled back and blew up in the guts.
4 bull turned almost facing us, bullet left a streak on the shoulder entered and exiting just under the spine. That dropped him. He slid about 100 yards before crashing into some trees.

Ha! I love Shot 2's explanation. :grin:
