Which one would you choose? I'm thinking the trusty 1 3/8" reaper razor tips or rage hypodermics.. Decisions decisions

What mechanical for elk?

I hunted this year with a friend who shot a bull with a Swacker at 12yds and caught the back part of the shoulder and didn't get enough penetration to kill the elk! I shot one at 40yds and completely passed through shooting 63# with a Magnus Stinger BH and It seemed like I got more of the shoulder than he did. I'm not saying you can't do the job with a mechanical head I'm just saying on an animal that size the safer bet is a fixed head. The outfitter also strongly recommended fixed tips due to their past experience. I can assure you my friend will not go on an elk hunt with a mech head again(was a very nice bull)! He is very bummed over it. IMO that's a long trip and lots of time and $ to take a chance!Last edited by ShaBow; 10-11-2013, 10:48 PM.
