As a avid elk hunter and a Archery Education Instructor the best advice I can give you is to go to your local Pro Archery shop or shops and let them know you are new to bowhunting and you want to spend some money on top of the line equipment! A good Pro shot will not steer you wrong! I know you want a answer here and now but the choices are endless and there is not a right or wrong with personal preference. The only way to find out which bow fits you best and feels right in your hands, is for you to shoot them all or as many as possiable. Same goes with sights, quiver, rests, and arrows, even broadheads. Though a cut on contact, or a strong fixed 3 blade are the best broadheds for elk. Hope this helps and good luck.
