Default RE: Best broadhead for ELK???

I got a pass through on a broadside bull with the 125 grain G5 shooting a Carbon Express 400 out of a 70# Darton Maverick. I resharpened it and used it to harvest a whitetail buck.

Because a person can lay the head flat on a stone it is fairly easy to sharpen in my opinion. I can get them sharp enough to shave hair but not in the same class as a Steel Force or Rocky Mountain.

I know of a couple of guys who got pass throughs with the Steel Force 125 (one inch cut). One of the guys was only shooting something like 56 pounds and it was a quartering shot.

I would have to agree with the others. "Best" is often an opinion or perspective, and may not be relative to the situation and/or setup another person is using.

If I were to head back to the mountains tomorrow bowhunting the wapiti I could with complete confidence and without hesitation use (in no particular order) Steel Force, Montec G5, Rocky Mountain Titaniums or Ironheads, or Muzzy.
