Elephant Bow Hunt?

Has anyone hunted an elephant with their bow ? If so what was your bow setup?

I have not, and I haven't heard of anyone doing so for a few years. I recall a magazine article from a while back that I read, they were shooting bows around 120 lbs and I think 700 grain arrows. The guy was glueing inserts into the front section of the arrow to achieve those weights. I think it was in a Magnum magazine (South African ) I would guess that modern bows will achieve the same performance with less poundage. He used one piece fixed Broadheath with just 2 blades. I will search and see if I can find the article. Check out this thread https://www.africahunting.com/threads/bowhunting-elephant-best-setup.5043/
