I have shot more moose with a bow than a rifle. Double lung shot with complete penetration usually stops one in 100 yards or less. Taken, you don't spook them into runnig full out. I shot one in BC 20 years ago. He was a record book moose at 20 yards facing away. I made a double femoral/aorta artery shot including the liver, diaphram, both lungs from behind with a 125 grain broadhead. The guide went ape sh-t. I told him to settle down and watch. The moose went 40 yards and piled up. The guide was flaborgasted. I explained that a arrow works on hemorage not hydrostatic shock. The arrow exited the brisket. I had a fabulous blood trail. The guide was not aware that most skilled archers can shoot a 2" or less shot placement at 20 yards. I would not have recomended this for a shot longer than 20 yards. I have killed most moose with in 20 yards with a bow.
