Cow elk body measurements. When i was figuring how to judge distance based on how my pins measured up to an elk torso at certain distances i think we figured it to be around 33. The height of a bull is on average 59 and for cows 53. So if youre going to hold 12 inches high id be aiming about 10 below the withers hoping to hit about 13 or the way up from the bottom of the chest. Keep in mind that on 66s you dont add the extension of the main beam past the bulls g5 as a sixth point. Add to that the thickness of the skinhide heavy muscles and tendons. A 350 bull must have an average of 16 inches for his g1 through g4 points and 10 inch g5s to be about 350.
