Can't go wrong with thunder heads or montec G5 either 100gr or 125gr the heavey one is what I would recomend.
those are the two that I either use or have used don't know much about the others but I'm sure you'll get plenty of ideas here.

I agree with Owl, Thunderheads or Montecs and although I use Thunderheads for moose Muzzys are a good head too.

Muzzy, Steelforce or Thunderhead.

Thunderheads - 125 gr

Magnus stingers, Muzzys, Wasps, Rocky TI's Nap's new Nitron and Crossfire, etc. The list goes on and on as far as high quality heads go. Pick a weight, tune your bow well and use a high quality head. With your shorter draw length I would consider a cut on contact two blade head to maximize penetration though. Stingers, phantoms, Zwickeys,bear razorheads G5 B52's are all excellent choices.

Take 5 shots advice. Go with a cut on contact. I love Muzzys but I have a friend with a similar short draw/light weight set-up and Stingers have doubled his penetration on large critters like elk. Good luck and be prepared for the addiction of a lifetime!!!!!

5-shot - if you could pick one or two 125 gr broadheads to go chase an Elk with - what would you personally put on the tip of your arrow? :)

I've used Steelforce and this season I'm going with the MontecG5's in 100gr both these heads are top of the line.

Whatever works and shoots well from your bow and is legal.

I use Thunderhead 100's but if my set up were to change I wouldnm't hesitate to use a 75.

I would shoot the new Rocky Mountain Supreme XP or the Ti-100.

Never personally used the Ti 100's but they are used very frequently by the guys in Bowhunter magazine. I personally would use Muzzy's or rocket ultimate steel's from my experiece with them.

If I were to pick two it would either be the Zwickey eskimo or the Magnus stinger 125 grn. The zwickey head would be a glue on and I would use the flitemate adaptors to keep the weight down to 125 grns.

Dont know if you guys have seen the Ribtek heads. Made in Australia, only a buck 65 Australian, available from 110g to 190g and tough as old boots.

I shot a few into hard trees the other day, dug them out with an axe and they were still fine to use again. Slightly blunted but not at all bent. Certainly makes makes mechanicals and and multi bladed heads look like single use items.

A few nice trophies and non fancy looking archers on the site.
