look up Ranch Fairy on you tube. FOC is important and FMJ's are a heavy shaft. i would look into more weight up front by using a SS insert/outsert with a min 125 gn broadhead or go with at least a 200gn broadhead and a lighter shaft. if you want to stay with the FMJ i would look into beefing up the front with a "footer" from ethics archery. the FMJ's have had some issues with mushrooming up front. Ranch Fairy will explain a lot of this for you. its addicting learning about "adult arrows". i use a 600gn arrow setup for whitetails but i know an elk shot can be double my max range of 30yds. you are also shooting 80 frikkin pounds and i shoot 62 so you should be fine going over 500 mark. i would use at minimum a 260 spine arrow. Sirius arrows can build you a nice setup. might be worth looking into.Good to hear, cause I should be getting some 5mm FMJs in the mail this week! Planing on shooting the 100gr g5 montecs I have...with my arrow length I think I’ll be around 490

Be careful, that's a VERY deep rabbit hole you're about to enter LOLThanks for the tips! I just got gifted some 125 grain annihilator broadheads that out me over 500 grains but will look into getting a beefier insert/outsert too...hadn’t thought of that yet. I’ll definitely dive into that ranch fairy info.

Lol yea...Be careful, that's a VERY deep rabbit hole you're about to enter LOL
I had the same planDidn't get drawn for Missouri's first ever elk season, was gonna be the first person to shoot one out of a saddle but that plan fell through haha
I'm bringing my saddle but most likely it's going to be left at the truck unless I find a super active wallow or something.How many of you folks will be bringing your saddle to hunt early season elk? I have heard prerut, people will treestand hunt. My plan is to be mobile on the ground but curious to see if any one will or has climbed up over a wallow or anything like that as a tactic?
I use mine every year in Colorado
