Ordered some montec G5 I like the way they can be sharpened
Plus can’t go wrong with 1 piece blade they look tough
Now only time will tell just need to find an elk first lol
Will prob get some slick tricks as well
Then I will see which ones fly the best out of my TriaxLast edited by sasqy; 07-25-2018, 06:09 PM.

Rage Extreme worked well for me last year. My first time to use them on an elk and he ran 100 yds. It didn't pass through but I had a hard quartering away shot that entered off his back hip and ended up in his chest cavity. I would argue that the shot angle and placement is way more important than what broadhead you use. As many have stated, use what you are comfortable and consistent with.

He did a podcast with the primos guys and he said he builds his arrows so it stays within a certain speed and doesn’t worry about the weight

I started shooting the raptor tricks this year. Only killed a ram with it so far, but i would not hesitate to shoot anything with it. 436gr arrow traveling 306 fps. It cut through that ram like butter and took out two ribs doing it

Again, this is from guys that hunt several stars a year and have shot almost every head made.

That said, I'm leaning toward the Iron Wills, even at $33/head. I was hesitant to spend that much, but then when I consider that I spent $30 on a single pair of boxers, it's hard to complain about $100/pack without questioning my own priorities!
I'm also considering the Cut Throats. At half the price, I'm guessing you're getting a really good quality broadhead comparable to the IW. I'm sure the law of diminishing returns is at play with regards to differences for a broadhead at twice the price.

I’ve never shot an elk but I have a water buffalo. So I can say with out a doubt if I can take a water buffalo with a 465 gr arrow I should have no problems with a 465 on an elk. It’s all in how you build your penetration system.

Slick trix or muzzy. I killed mine with a muzzy last year and my son used slick trix. Mine ran about 40 yards and his about 100. Practice from 10 to 70 yards and practice at all angles and get in shape. Practice, practice, practice and don't change your set up if your are confrontable and confident with the way you are shooting. Practice when you are huffing and puffing since that's what your probably going to be doing. Good luck.
