I wish we lived close to one another. I absolutely love working on stuff like this, and it would have been a blast/honor to have been able to work on it with you.

Ok Bemon shafts came in today.
Filling the 350 shaft from insert to nock, I ended up with a arrow that weighs 1075 and flies like a dart.
Shot it a dozen times without feathers, not a wobble in it

Filled it with salt??? I saw Gary Bogner do that.

Sounds like you have a real fun hunt lined up! Wasn't Howard Hill the first White man to kill an elephant with a bow and arrow? I'm wondering what kind of arrow he used.

If you can't replicate Howard Hill's elephant arrows, what about adding some lead fishing weights inside the shaft? If there's a way to smelt the lead and shape it so that it can fit inside the shaft, maybe that might work?

If you are going to do something like this there is an alloy called cerrobend we use at work to make blocks for collimating radiation for cancer treatments. It melts at only 158 degrees so it can be melted and poured into plastic, wood, styrofoam, etc. it is really heavy since it is made up of bismuth, lead, tin and cadmium. It cools quickly and is easy to work with.

Just let me know if you want some to play with.
