setarcher Report post Posted April 18, 2014 First bull was taken with a 100g Thunderhead. No pass through at 44 yards and he didn't go 44 yards before falling over. Second bull was taken with a Rage three blade at 51 yards. No pass through and he piled up less than 60 yards from where he was standing. x2 on the comment re: any modern day razor sharp broadhead will get the job done. Pass throughs are over rated. Yeah, they help in creating a better blood trail, but if you're hitting them in the boiler room where you're supposed to, the animal is not going to go more than 100 yards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmbbulldog Report post Posted April 18, 2014 I will be using G5 Montecs 100 grain. Use what shoots the best out of your setup. I personally would be nervous using expandable on elk, but others swear by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesPursuit Report post Posted April 18, 2014 I enjoy how controversial it is. The comments on shot placement and sharp blades are spot on. I choose the ulmer as my mechanical because of its double sided sharpness, lock open design (sure others lock as well), and amazing accuracy in my experience regardless of arrow and tune. Confidence, another spot on piece of advice. One thing is for sure, I hope every archery hunter pays more attention to practicing shot placement and keeping their composure moreso than broadheads and rig flare. Let's spend more time recovering these magnificant critters. Good luck to all in 2014 in all their big game endeavors! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
resolute Report post Posted April 18, 2014 I killed 2 bulls in 27 last 2 years. Both with slick trick magnums 125 grain. Shot one at 68 yards and he ran 40 yards uphill and stumbled back to where I shot him and died. The other one I hit at 18 yards and he went 24 yards and died. Great broad head and tuned like my field points out to 100. As we all know, shot placement is most important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBD21 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 A well placed shot with any broadhead will do a number on an elk. Perfect practice makes perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BackwoodsHunter Report post Posted April 19, 2014 Schwakers! Stuck my bull last year with one and he didn't make it 40 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojangles Report post Posted April 19, 2014 think i'm going with ulmer edges. just screw 'em on and hunt, no foolin' around with tuning. also, safety is the biggest issue. blades are completely encosed, so, to me, it seems safer. less chance of lacerating myself 10 miles from cell signal.

Flash Report post Posted April 19, 2014 I have seen 2 articles that really praised these and they stated how surprised they were to come from something other than a big name maker which is how I thought of them at first. I might give them a try. http://www.basspro.com/RedHead-Blackout-FixedBlade-Broadheads-or-Replacement-Blades/product/79674/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
