What Broadhead for Elk?

[montanaelk31]

Used montecs for years--dead elk every time-- except no pass throughs on 5 elk, and no blood trails.  I hunt alone and this was becoming an issue. Just think they are too dull. They kill the elk dead, though.
I use Ulmer Edge Mechanical. 3 for 3.  2 pass throughs, big blood trails.  Dead elk in seconds.  I won't use anything else unless I have to.  Yeah, I know its a mech but I highly recommend it. (Rage KE's might be OK but the blades don't lock)

I switched to Slick Tricks standard 125 gr from Wasp Boss 2 years ago to improve my broadhead grouping and field tip accuracy. All the talk about Slick Tricks accuracy was spot on. They are accurate, sharp, tough, and have great penetration.

I know I am a little late. I have used the Ramcats for the last two years and have been very impressed. Me and one of my sons shoot them andwe have downed 3 elk and two deer. They have done great.

DRT looked like it did the job. Big ol hole.

Im sticking with use one with razor blades , brand of tip is about 1% of it ,99% is shot placement . Just my opinion .

Slick Trick standards for under 40yd shots and in calm winds.  Over 40yds, or in windy conditions I shoot Ulmer's Edge. 

I always keep a blugeon or small game head on one arrow in my quiver as well...there are often more than a few opportunities at grouse to be had.

After shooting the Slick Trick Magnum, G5 Stryker and Grim Reaper Hades I decided to try the Strickland Helix after seeing that it shot very well but more interestingly it continued to roatate INSIDE the target....and in the elk I shot. Entrance wound was pretty basic but the hole in the lungs looked like a golf ball had made its way through it. I was super impressed.

So what is better

100grain or 125grain for elk?

 

[RUTTIN]

I think the heavier the better, also helps with front of center.

Shot my elk this year with a Slick Trick Viper Trick 125 gr , complete pass thru. The Vipers are the most accurate out to 80 yards of the heads I've tested. Gonna try some Wac'ums this spring.

muzzy trocar 100grain

 

[ILbowhntr]

Been shooting muzzys but thinking about DRT or Solids. Only thing that bothers me is the weight color on DRT. Does it allowthe head to thread in far enough?

I know of one guy that was having a problem with DRT's not threading all the way in on gold tips. I shoot 100 grain so I don't shoot with the collars. I just noticed on their site that they are making some in heavier weights now though!
