In 2013 (after applying for 12 years) I drew a Black Hills, SD Archery Elk tag. Of course I was after a herd bull, but when a decent 5x5 satellite started walking straight toward me from 70 yds away, I was running everything thru my mind if he wasn't going to turn & give me a broadside shot.....picturing the anatomy that I had studied so hard, deciding how close he would have to get to me, if I was confident in myself & my bow enough, what angle I would need to shoot to get into the goods & not hit bone....well, he never turned at all. When he got to about 20 yds, he walked thru some low hanging mossy branches. I drew & held steady. I kept my top pin 8-10 inches above where dark & light hair meet, picturing where the arrow would travel inside him. He began staring me down a bit, but not stopping his long stride walk right at me. My husband was about 25-30 yds behind me, sitting among some heavy low hanging spruce branches, holding a 'Heads Up' cow decoy. The bull saw the decoy...would look at it, then back to me. Finally, at 12 yds, he stopped, drool falling from his mouth, nostrils flared, eyes wild. I took a shallow breath, & began to exhale slowly as I released the arrow. He spun to his right, blood squirting as he did. Then, immediately, he stumbled 3 side steps & fell with all 4 hooves reaching to the heavens!!! He didn't even make it 15 yds & was down! And in less than one minute from the time I released my arrow, he took his last breath with a half-hearted groan!! I was in shock!! As was my husband! He jumped up & down in excitement more than me & couldn't believe his wife killed an elk with her bow!! We just stood there together, staring at this huge animal...in disbelief of what just happened! When I opened his body cavity up, my arrow was situated completely inside the bull...the lighted nock glowing near his heart & the broadhead up above his you know what!! The top arteries of the heart were severed off. And the blood loss was impressive! Frontal shots are not for everybody, but if you've researched this scenario & are confident, it's a deadly quick kill shot!!
That must have been a sight to behold ! Wow
Hey guys I am from New York and went to Idaho on my first ever elk hunt last year and thanks to watching your guys videos I was totally confident in the frontal shot. I was able to take a spike bull at 18 yards with a frontal quarter to and had a pass thru out behind the shoulder on the opposyside. The elk only went 10 yards and fell into a heap. I love what you guys are doing and have inspired me to travel out west now. Also I ordered the kill pack of calls and wow awesome calls. Thank you again and hope to run into you guys some day.
I can't wait till 2.0 starts coming out. I'm not a hunter I went hunting once 20 years ago and that's it. I live in New Jersey so when these videos come out it is my drug of choice. Thank you bro for the great content. I can't wait. I wish it/y'all could hunt year round.
Well said guys! As an ethical bow Hunter of 28 years and an avid bow shooter for over 30 years the frontal shot is NOT for the weekend worrier. Please shoot shoot shoot. Listen to these guys do not be over condfident. Thanks again guys!
I need to not only like this but love this a hundred times. This is BY FAR one of the best videos on the tubes.
Fantastic vid. Taking 1st archery elk trip to CO this coming fall.
Well done and very useful info. I have passed on many frontal shots. NOT any more! Thanks! 15 days till CO.
Thank you, I've been looking all over the place for this information. You were in my mind, reading my thoughts! Keep it up guys.
I just made this shot on a bull 2 days ago. Idaho hunt.. an hour from pocatello. Rained all day and hailed really bad for half of the day. 15 yards.. exactly like your explanation of the pocket. Blood trail was literally puddles of bright red with bubbles. Expected lung shot. He bled like this for 300 yards. 1.5 miles later the blood was decent still.. found the arrow. Had a big chunk of a membrane of some sort on the broadhead. It penetrated 20 inches. At mile 2.36 on OnX.. the hail storm had moved in and we lost tracks and blood. We spent 2 days looking for him. Going back up in a couple days. He lost more blood in the first 300 yards then any animal I have ever shot with my bow combin. Have you seen this before? Broad head chisel tip and blades are in perfect condition..
Very informative video, my archery hunting has been 100 percent whitetail. I would assume all the same principals apply here. Before watching this I probably would not have attempted that shot. Thank you Kody and Trent for taking the time to help fellow archery hunters out.
At around the 9:45 mark is my absolute favorite shot you’ve done!! Can’t get enough. Keep up the dedication and good luck this coming season!!
I just started a couple months ago but I'll tell ya, I practice 6 days of the week and by time elk season comes, I see a big ol elk, I'm taking that shot. some big dawgs on the tube straight spine a buck because it's a trophy.
I'm not saying I'm taking the shot no matter what, but I'll be practiced, confident and ready when the time comes.
The clearness of your camera is awesome!!
There should be a Born and Raised frontal elk target down the road!
Nice user pic also I agree
@@rex711cooper4 its our logo
Oh ok buce
Nice

Great video, would you guys mind doing a detailed arrow video that goes over broadheads, insert weight and type, shaft, fletching, wraps and nocks?
Proven and trusted shot for me. Thanks for the demo
Thanks for this video guys. Really been working on my frontal shot placement. A lot of encounters with bulls walking in has me Ota tang practicing as a solo hunter/caller. Great knowledge gained here with the experiences y’all have. So looking forward to confidentiality utilizing this technique this late summer. Thanks again! Great video! 😃👍🏻
My trip starts Sept. 8th in WA; Best of luck to you boys. Way to get the crowd fired up.
I'm 4 for 4 on frontals. I've yet to have a frontal run more than 50 yds with unbelievable blood trails. Two of them had the broadhead pass through the whole cavity half exiting the hind end. I've had nothing but great experiences so I would say it's a very ethical shot 25 yds or closer with a straight on angle.
I like the way you covered this subject. Well done!
The only bull I shot was a frontal shot at 45 yards. Went through heart and lung and went very deep. It’s a pretty hard shot but if you have a good opportunity and you’re confident in your shooting I’d say go for it!
You guys are getting me pumped for season, keep them coming
Couldn't agree with you guys more if you shoot well the frontal shot is brutal!
Love that Willie Boats sweatshirt!!!! My dad worked there for a long, long time!
Very informative thanks
Great video guys!! I had an opportunity a few years back at taking a frontal shot at about 5-6 yds and didn't, it cost me missing him at further distance quartering away. I would take the shot it I had to do it again. So looking forward to #LandoftheFree 2.0 and good luck in season!!
GREAT VIDEO, only have had one opportunity and didn’t shoot only because I wasn’t sure exactly where to try and hit him. Snooze you lose and I lost…..
Can't wait for land of the free. Such a great series to follow. Hope you guys have an epic year in 2018
Great videos of your hunts and this piece of shot selection. Like to join a hunt for elk . Years of Whitetail, after watching your hunts I am a fan of elk hunting. I praying for a hunt with men like your group.. I was born in Colorado but never seen the country side because my parents moved to Florida right after I was born.
SUCH a helpful video! Thank you so much! Your experience and opinions are greatly appreciated!
Awesome video!
Great info guys! Thx a bunch for this video. Can't wait till 2.0 comes out! Keep up the good work.
Great video. I was just thinking about this today, then you guys posted this up. Thanks!
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but the arrow weight is very important. If a guy of gal has a short draw length and shooting an arrow that is 420 gr. The frontal should be out of the question.. Heavy arrow at high rate of speed is the way to go for this shot.... Momentum is key.
Just my opinion....
The Hungry hunter his arrow for his recurve was probably around 600gr tho. That's why it got so much penetration.
The elk I killed two years ago with a 60lb bow and 390gr arrow with a frontal is going to be pretty upset to find out he shouldn't have run 60yds and tipped over dead.
Andy Gray thanks for your smartass response.. I have a 26 in draw length and I shoot 70lbs, my arrow is 430gr and my penetration sucked on my Elk.... I have a great deal of respect for the animal I hunt..
I going to do what's best for me and my set up.
Andy Gray Thats just irresponsible as a hunter, you got lucky.
The Hungry hunter no it was a great shot, but it only went to the fletching; all my hunting buds get complete pass-through on all their Elk.. They shoot arrows that are 500 + grains.. 180 to 200 grains up front.
Another awesome informative video guys thank you. Pumped for the 1st
Really good stuff guys ...very informative ...you guys need that music from the "land of the free " series it got my old ticker pumping
CAN'T FREAKIN' WAIT BOYS!!!
Awesome fellas, I killed a spike bull two years ago, arrow went all the way in at 40 yards and went down 30 yards away
I love these videos! Learned a ton and would love to see more like it👌🏼
What about a frontal shot with a rifle, in of course the rifle bull elk season ? What do you think ?
Awesome video! Very helpful
Great video Guys!! I appreciate this detailed explanation!
Awesome info guys
I think it's crazy when bulls just stand there a moment after being shot. Like damn son I'd be runnin
Thanku!
That was bad to the Ivory...most people don't know that.. I loved it .. I once came into track after a frontal shot in idaho, I found a ton of blood, at first then the bull ran about 200 yrds up hill, no blood did 3 circles around and saw the passed 150 yrds from the trailhead, I didn't find him, I lost the track! No , blood, no arrow
! He, started up hill but did 3 big loops and the next season I found him, 200 yards from the heavily used trail head .. I identified it by my clients arrow from previous hunts,, arrow burried half way into rib cage.
Watch out for loops!
This is seriously the fucking best video on RUclips right now and I’m your only one that seen it feel like it’s like fucking I’m # ☝🏼
Great vid, no elk here in Maryland but a couple Whitetail have had a dad day with a frontal from groundblind and still hunting. Lethal !
Dude, i just love you guys! Keep em coming! Im looking to get a bow by next season, im in washington, just to the north of you so i can relate to a lot of the scenarios you put out there. Its boosting my confidence and giving me the insight i need from successful guys like you! Its awesome, thanks!
very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the info and especially the live examples from actual hunting situations. Do y'all have a video that addresses broached selection for elk? If not, is there a consensus on which broadhead y'all agree on and what grain? Thanks
That was supposed to say "Do y'all have a video that addresses broadhead selection..." Not "broached"
Go watch the video Clayton Coyle arrows elk in chest to see where to shoot an elk and drain it of blood in seconds... cleanest bow kill you’ll ever see! Couldn’t believe the first time I saw it how fast that elk went down.
Are you guys filming in 4K? This video quality looks amazing regardless 👍🏻
Does Born and Raised senior management have a dress code, green pants on Monday? What is Tuesday the salmon (pink) HUSHIN T-shirt? Great video that fits the BRO mantra: entertain, educate, inspire.... gave me something to look into more. I will research & study the elk bone structure and overall anatomy for this shot. Thanks
Will this work for quartering to whitetail?
Thank you great info !!
Catchy, love it!!!
Bill Walton, you are right sir. just go to 2:05 on the video and they agree with u also.
does this shot work on whitetail? I have passed on front shot from ground blind.have seen close to that shot but only from above (down hill or tree stand between neck and shoulder)
Hopefully your guys frontal shots don't get leaked on the internet =/
Good advice, but what about deer?
Very tough call not a science slice and dice who knows what that arrow will do hitting bones and what ever else good video
If you are making this shot the way he explained it then you shouldn't be hitting bone until after it passes through vitals.
Super helpful, guys. Can't wait to get my shaft into an "elk's goodies" in a few weeks. :)
Excellent information! BTW, how do you like Willies Boats? Know one of the owners.
If I would have to guess I would say more frontal shots are failures then successful recoveries. No way to prove that of course but that is my opinion. Lots of elk out there and no reason for me to ever take that shot. I hope that all that do have success with it.
No Austin cameo?
Are those Valkyrie feild points I see?!?!?!
Lets go 180 degrees, what do you think about the "Texas Heart Shot"? I was told by one of the best outfitters in Northern Arizona that it is one of the deadliest shots you can take.
Very poor shot selection. Hole to hit is only 3 inches otherwise pelvis messes with penetration and on an elk its gotta penetrate a long way to hit the diaphragm.. the outfitter is dreaming and obviously likes follow long and unrewarding blood trails
this is off topic but how tall is cody?
Good stuff!
I leave for Colorado on the 23rd, 9 day pack in
Thanks guys this vid made me and even better Hunter
shot a bull head on ,full frontal arrow went stright threw and gather up guts and stuck 20 inches out its ass never found it.
Maybe this video should have been about face shots
The elk whas like why the fuck did you shoot me
Send me a campsite location when you guys come to Montana I’ll come help find 🥩 pack 🥩 I’ll even show up with my camera 🎥 and let ya take the memory sticks. Pay me in the Experience alone. I was born and raised for nothing but our life
How many elk did they NOT recover after trying a frontal and wounding the elk?
She did say penetration was important i had no idea
Awesome

He is free
And those platforms are free to choose who they provide services to.
And you didn't even mention the Throat punch Elk.
well that is informative.
Does this shot produce very much BLOOD
No matter what these guys say,that is not an ethical shot.Its a good way to lose an elk.
It is ethical shot if you can shoot straight. Kills them real quick to
If you can’t control your “buck fever” I also don’t recommend that shot at all. I have all the confidence in the world in my shooting and I personally don’t recommend that shot. I think it’s too risky. A wounded elk can run for ever.
cant we all just get a doe tag! stop bickering!
This is not an ethical nor lethal shot. Too much cape and fur, strong sternum, and a protected heart make this shot a "NO GO". I personally helped cut up two elk shot during g rifle season in Montana that had carbon arrows stuck in their lung or shoulder surrounded by puss. The arrows, and entrance wounds were from someone bow hunting (which I love to do) that thought this lazy ass shot was worth a try. This shot is not a lethal shot most of the time. Do yourself and your elk a favor and pass on the frontal shot. It's amazing an elk can survive an arrow in a lung, but it really can, tough buggers!
Amy Frykman I get that it is not a shot you would want to take but you can't deny the lethality of it. I would argue that the frontal is good because it either kills them within seconds or they survive. Wounding elk is never the goal of course. I would take a frontal at 20 over a broadside at 40 any day of the week.
not worth the risk, just wait for a good shot
Very poor idea to take a frontal shot like that.
You guys should not be promoting frontal shots---especially when young novice hunters may try it. It is not a ethical shot---to high of a risk period----don't be lazy and take the frontal shot---wait for the broadside lung/heart shot period. Here in Wyoming all my buddies just wait for a solid ethical side shot--period-don't post stupid things like this ---just to get subscribers ---it may work against you.--avid--wyoming hunter
Great people but this is the most asinine tutorial ever. I understand what is being said yet there is still to many X factors. How many times do you watch a “professional” or someone with their own show who screw this up. Many times in examples on films they have a hard time finding the animal or loser s animal. Seem like good people and definitely passionate but now we’re having these other RUclips warriors thinking it’s ok.
Pretty simple.
Don’t do it.
When I first stumbled upon this, I thought it was a joke. Sadly I was mistaken. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night; great fodder for the antis to end archery hunting. I am appalled. You men need to take a long hard look in the mirror and question why you hunt.
take the video off youtube---a lot of other people agree with me ---and I don't care want Hushin and Corey think----they know it is a high risk shot----and I don't want to see elk in Wyoming running around with arrows in them---wyoming hunter
