I hunt moose with an Exocet 200 and last fall called in a 2.5 years moose at less than 10 yard.Shot it side way in the lungs.Just the fletching was showing .If you don't see the moose fall in front of you , give a 2hrs way before getting on his tracks.Moose are tought animal and walk may yards before falling down.If the arrow hit a bone on the opposit side and don't exit,it will act as a plug and won't bleed much.
Was shooting Lazer II arrow with 100gr.Wasp 4 blades
My set up for next fall will be 2216 Easton Legacy arrow ,4" vanes with 110gr brass insert and 125gr Thunderhead fixed blades.

Good tip thanks. It must make it pretty challenging to track it if the arrow "plugged" the hole.

Archery for Moose is different than gun hunting, you will be calling during the rut, When the Bull responds he's coming, Hide yourself well and he will come right to you. Most good shot's are under 20 yds. If he does come in nice and close and busts you, It's almost as good as taking one. Have Fun and good luck.

Yeah that will be awesome. I do hope we get a Bull but who knows... I know for sure though that we will get a Cow tag for sure because we are a group. I hope we can call them too but I know they don't respond to that as much as a bull would...

At 60-70 yards and the moose is sideways ready to leave in the dense bush. SHOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!This mite be your only chance in years buddy. With limited tags available every year in Ontario what do you have to loose??? really. Unless the moose is your uncle.

I've hunt moose for 15 years with my family witch they have 45 years experience each killing every single year. Letting a moose go away at 60-70 yards would be a huge mistake....my new Equanox crossbow arrow travels at 350 FPS, at 60-70yards i have a had time removing my arrow from the target box. This simple indecation tells me i have a great chance of killing a moose sideways. Hamme higher thats all.

Moose dont hag out in fields or your front lawn all the time,once it enters the bush there is a very good change you'll never see him again.

sorry, but i think this goes into the "bad advice" pile

I'll take a 60 yard shot on a Moose any day but not beyond. Only broadside, using a heavy arrow (500 gr+) and with a cut on contact broadhead that is not too big. Last year in Alberta one of the guys stuck one with a 70 lb compound at 20 yards and the 30" arrow buried itself to the fletching. The caller was 30 yards beyond the shooter so he got a perfect broadside shot.
Put a HHA Optimizer and Bob's your uncle! I was shooting with mine that is on a Vortex yesterday at 60 yards from a bench and was getting 2.5" groups with target points.

That lighted nocks trick sounds like a pretty good idea. I didn't think they made any for crossbow arrows but i`ll look into right now. I was planning on getting a florescent orange wrap though or something similar.

Both Lumenok and Firenok make lighted nocks. They're cool to shoot but when the Lumenok burns out after about 40 hours, they're done. The Firenok has a replaceable battery that cost in the $3 range. But they are a PITA to assemble if you ask me.

Both will perform well for you I'm thinking.
