I have killed elk with bow, pistol and black powder. Sure, you can use open sights, just realize that you are placing severe limitations on yourself and be prepared to pass on less than ideal shots.

I have watched more than one mature bull walk away at under 40 yards because I couldn't take the shot and I find it a challenge. Are you willing to pass up that once in a lifetime bull...
