Broadhead decision time.

[Elkhntr08]

Looking for insight on 3 different heads that I have. Trying to choose a head for Idaho elk this fall.
#1 Sevr 1.75 Hybrid, taken a hog and bear with this head this year.
#2 ViperTrick, have had great results in the past on deer.
#3 VPA Omega with bleeders, took a couple deer last year with them.
All are 125 and yes my bow is properly tuned. They all shoot the same out to 60.
Of these 3, which would be your first choice?

I had to look at those omegas, never heard of them. For the price you paid, that’s what if use all else being equal.

I’ve shot +/- 5 elk with those vipertricks, they zip through without even slowing down from a slow bow shooting sub 250fps. Bloodtrsils have all been weak, but not needed.

I’d pick the mechs, they are way more forgiving and make bigger holes. IMO there is no downside to a good mechanical. Even though your bow is tuned well hunting creates poor angles and form which have way more effect on fixed heads.

I had really poor performance out of the sevr 1.75 hybrid on an elk last year. I’m sure you can do a search and find it, there is a pretty long thread on them. I’m going back to a mix of IW and standard sevr 1.75 this year.

Throw in a 25 yard frontal shot, now does that change anything?

Vipertricks then the VPA. If I shot VPA then it would be the 3 blade. One not mentioned is the QAD exodus head. Makes a nice triangular hole. I have used the vipertrick and VPA but prefer the QAD.
