broadheads/arrows
Just purchased a new bow. A reflex superslam. Have not shot yet, looking to set up.
Any of you have opinions on arrows? I'm an old diehard finger shooter just now startin to use a release, if that makes any difference. Also would like to have input on broadheads.
Primary game with this bow will be elk.
thanks,

RE: broadheads/arrows
Not sure if your looking for carbon or alluminum. I shoot carbon myself, Carbon Express Terminator. I shoot 60#, with 32" draw length and these arrows seem to keep me pretty accurate. Carbon arrows help you get more speed than alluminum arrows. I only hunt Whitetail with my setup, these arrows would work fine for elk although you might want to go with a heavier model, but in my opinion with the new bows today and increased speed, you'll have no problem downing a large Elk with the Carbon Express Terminators. They are priced around 70 bucks a dozen. Hope this helps!

RE: broadheads/arrows
I'm in the same boat with ya.
I just bought a new bow on Friday a Mathews Switchback,this will be my elk/deer/antelope bow.
I will be hunting mainly elk.
I have it set @ 70 lbs shooting Gold Tip 55/75 pro xt arrows and 100 gr Steel Force broad head.
You should look at having a arrow weight of 400 gr or more for elk.Mine are pretty light right close to 400 gr.With a 28 in draw and good BH it will take elk.
