All these New Mexico draw results have me wishing I would have put in for NM elk too. I have only hunted Colorado OTC units in years past and like to learn an area by hunting the same area for several years. Maybe I can change that mindset and put in for a good NM unit next year and try something new (if I'm lucky enough to get a tag).
Congrats to those who were successful, and to the rest there's always Colorado OTC !Comment

Got a package of these on the way to play with. Most likely will be my elk head if they fly good. The are very similar to the solid heads but look to be built better. The 100 grain heads have a titanium ferrule.

Here is my honest thoughts on elk and broadheads. I will always have 3 fixed blade heads and two mechanical heads in my quiver. In my opinion
There is no reason you have to choose one.
If I am calling elk or feel I can get within 60 yards I will have the fixed blade locked and loaded no questions asked. The one thing that worries me with a mechanical is the frontal or quartering to shot if calling.
If I stalk in and have a bull perfectly still broadside/quartering away at 70-100 and I feel I can make the shot I will shoot the mechanical. Also follow up shots past 60 the mechanical is a good choice.
Ps these are just my thoughts. I have killed a bull moose but no elk so I'm not claiming to be an expert.

I've got two different setups I could use to shoot with 1) would be an Easton Axis 340 @ 410 grains and 286 FPS with a FOC of 10.21. Option 2) Black Eagle Rampage 300 @ 427 and 281 FPS with a FOC of 14.66. Leaving heavily towards the BE Rampage at the moment.Comment

A lot of the Ashby stuff doesn't even matter unless your shooting a single bevel. The rotation is what is splitting bone. So shooting 650 grains and heavy foc by itself isn't enough.
I would test both setups and see what flys best. Hitting your spot is more important than anything.
