Vital Zone Target — Elk

A bigger animal and a bigger zone — 12 inches against a deer's 8 — on the same reference: behind the shoulder, about a third up from the brisket. The extra size is not extra margin; elk are usually shot further away.

How to use it

1. Print at 100% and check the 100 mm bar.
2. The zone is 12 in / 305 mm at full size. It looks generous on paper and stops looking generous at 300 m.
3. Elk are taken at longer range than deer, so the drop matters more — pair this with a come-up chart for your load.
4. Heavier bone and more of it: check the energy your load still carries at the distance you expect to shoot.
