Elk broadhead

[ResearchinStuff]

G5 Dead Meat for me, I've killed my last 3 bulls with one and won't be switching any time soon. Previously I used a plethora of fixed heads which all worked also, I really like the holes the Dead Meats leave and their durability. I've had 3 different brands of fixed heads get trashed from killing elk, all three Dead Meats I've killed elk with can be used again and 2 of them you can't tell have been shot, 1 has a small chip missing off the end of 1 blade.

how thick are the dead meat blades? I can't find an answer anywhere.

.044” which has been thick enough to go through elk and deer and not take any damage.

Slick Trick Vipertricks for me, although I have been testing accuracy with the Kudu Contour + and like what I am seeing. STs have never let me down.

 

[CentennialState]

Exodus. Inexpensive, sharp, easy to tune, incredibly tough/durable

 

[resident vs nonresident]

My first archery kill. Muzzy One 125gr. Total arrow 500gr quartering to me a bit shot: Punched through front Q / through a rib/double lung. This was 25y shot.
I had Muzzy Ones and Sevr 1.5’s in quiver and nocked based on distance I was shooting in this case 25Y

 

[Fowl Play]

Muzzy Trocar. Not fancy but get the job done!

I really wanted to try the kudu points but ran across some magnus points I couldn’t pass up so magnus it is at least for this upcoming season.

I carried Magnus broadheads all season. Still struggling to get tuning that I’m happy with to be precise beyond 40 yards. Fixed would be the only type of head I’d choose. I am playing with some new oz cuts but don’t seem sharp. They help stabilize the arrow however!

My son and I use Exodus.

I am running grim reaper micro hades and iron will with a bleeder this year.

since pictures make the thread…..(pictured with 3” feathers for a size comparison)


I’m going with the $6 head I’ve used for awhile now- on the right, its blown through many critters- inc Moose, big hogs, deer, etc even when I was shooting 46#.

I thought about trying those Aussie heads- on left- but don’t like the blade angle

 

[bucksnbirds]

Iron will S 125

 

[butcherboy]

Not sure yet. It’s a tie between ST viper tricks or Simmons swamp shark.

 

[ganngus]

Iron Will SB100 all day, every day…

 

[CenterPunch]

Both elk I've shot with Magnus stinger 100gr. and haven't had good blood trails. Recovered both within 100-200 yards though. Switching to QAD Exodus 100gr. this year in hopes of better blood trail.

 

[DWD]

Stryker V2. Haven’t shot an elk with them but they tune great and carry fantastic in a quiver!

 

[eyeguy]

Qad exodus are nice and sharp out of the box and durable.
Magnus black hornet serrazor are also very good
Iron will blades and sharpness retention are tops.
I could head into the elk woods with any one of theses 3 and be happy.
