Was looking at building some arrows this season for Bull elk here in Az. was just seeing a preference from yall im very new to the elk hunting world but am doing my research on them hopefully it will help a little. I was look at the RIP tko elite series with ironwill s series blades. Just seeing if this would be a could matchup any help would be much appreciative thanks.

Lots of great arrows out there now days. It boils down to your personal preference.
Don’t get caught going down the FOC rabbit hole, not needed. Honestly, I can’t tell you what mine is right now. The arrow flys great out to 80 and has punched 2 holes in everything so far.
You can easily go too weak on spine, but it’s hard to go too heavy. Look at the arrow companies chart and start with their recommendations.
Personally, I like the Easton FMJ 5mm. For whitetail size game, 340 and for bigger like elk the 300.
Have fun, but don’t overthink it.

Easton Axis or Black Eagle Rampage. Easton Brass HIT inserts (or Iron Will), Iron Will Impact Collar, Iron Will Broadheads, AAE Max Stealth Wraps - 3 Right Helical, Nockturnal Lighted Nock. I use a 100 grain broadhead + 25 grain collar, and practice with a 125 grain field point. Spine appropriate for your draw length and weight.

Not a fan of FMJ as they can bend. Not a fan of micro diameter arrows as you can't use a lighted nock.

That should work. I've tested a lot of arrows over the last 15+ years, and currently I'm shooting RIP TKO Elites with 75gr brass HIT's and 125's. They come in right at 500gr. Lots of decent BH's out there to choose from.
