What mechanical for elk?

[DXTroughneck]

I shot this one last week with a 1 3/8" grim reaper did a great job and only went 40 yds after shot.

Rage 2 blade in the boiler room does it everytime for me

What if you get a tad forward on accident?

If it hits a shoulder bone you're screwed without a big rifle lol... I really started this thread to get people riled up

I know my 1 3/8 reapers will more than be enough unless an elk is tougher to penetrate than kudu, sable, and eland

The hypos look to be a great penetrating head as well.. Just in case I decide against it I have packed my exodus and ramcats

There's a good chance thats gonna be a problem on an elk size animal with a mechanical! Saw it first hand!

I shot a bull and a cow near rifle Colorado. A couple years ago. Was using rage two blade. It was my fault. Shot placement. But I hit shoulder and didnt get enough penetration and I am shooting 68 pounds I would recommend shuttle t locks.

Wouldn't of matter if you used a fixed or not depending where in the shoulder

ulmer edge or hypo.

If the hypo would come in a 1.5 low KE version make a great elk head.

I saw a 100yard passtru on a mulie this year using ulmer. Pretty impressive.

On a shoulder hit on any animal the odds are in favor of a good COC head vs mechanical. I hit my elk this year in the shoulder(rearward) and I had a complete pass through at 40yds with a Magnus Stinger.I honestly don't think a mechanical would have done the job.Too bad you can't duplicate the exact shot with 2 different heads and see the results!

I have no problem with Rage or other mechanicals for whitetail size animals but I won't use them on elk size game and after what I witnessed this year my mind ain't changing!Oh did I mention I still use WB's on elk though!

Hit him in the shoulder bone and my $ is on the elk.

Yea mine too with any broadhead

To hit bone other than ribs you gotta make a pretty bad shot.. They don't run through the middle of the shoulder
