best broadhead for elk
#2
It won't be about the "best broadhead". It will be about the one you prefer. I like Muzzy 125 grian. Tried and true and work great for me. All of my arrows, practice tips and broadheads are exactly the same. I like to keep things simple. Mechanicals are not for me although a lot of guys use them with great success.

Personally I'm a fixed coc blade myself, but after seeing the hole and the amount of blood loss my son-in-law got on his elk he killed in CO last year, I am rethinking. You could place your whole hand flat in the entry hole. The problem with his hit is that it was a little high and he didn't bleed outside. It took almost 3 hours to find him with practically no blood trail. When I cut into him about 5 gal of blood came rushing out of chest cavity. He also killed 2 25lb gobblers this spring with them. Tore them up! I hit 2 solid with slick tricks and didn't recover either one. Very upset.
