Mechanical or Fixed... what are your thoughts for elk?

[Matt Palmquist]

VPA 3 Blade for me. Will probably be shooting 125s this year.

 

[dreamingbig]

Magnus snuffer or magnus buzzcuts. I have also used a montec 3 blade in the past with good results. The magnus warranty is tough to beat.

I cannot believe that this has not gone nuts with the chevy vs. ford crowd! .

looks like it's a fixxed head crowd for elk. must be alot of Fords being driven to the elkwoods

 

[hunting1]

G5 Montec or Magnus Buzz cut. No reason to use mechanicals in my opinion??

 

[Hoyts n Mulies]

I use Montecs or shuttle T's.

 

[Backpack Hunter]

I cannot believe that this has not gone nuts with the chevy vs. ford crowd! Most forums I have visited, when this question is asked get slammed with people arguing.

It is refreshing isn't it?

 

[Broken Arrow]

Simmons interceptors or old bear razorheads on Douglas fir shafts.

 

[RyanD]

Slick Tricks for me the last couple of years, but quite a few elk have fallen to my Magnus Stingers. I don't have any experience with mechanicals.

 

[cnelk]

10 years using Muzzy 100gr - been using 100gr Stick Tricks for the last 3.
Muzzy didnt seem as sharp out of the box as they used to be.
I had success with both

 

[elkhunt]

I use fixed only because I do not need any thing else going wrong or having to worry about it opening. Maybe on deer I would use them.

 

[merch]

100 grain Slicktrick standards for me

125g Wac'em Exit Broadhead

 

[justin davis]

They do some damage!

Aron- That blood trail in the pic is impressive! Carnage!!!

 

[BTROCKS]

I am really leaning towards the Ulmer broadhead.

 

[Rod]

Fixed Zwickey Delta

 

[bohntr]

I think a quality cut-on-contact style head is a better choice for elk overall. There are many manufactured now-a-days that fly extremely well that you can choose from....some fly the same as field points.

My personal choice? I've arrowed bulls with Zwickey Eskimos's, Magnus Stingers, and the last few with Wac'em. All performed very well. None of them flew as well as the Wac'em.

 

[Aron Snyder]

I agree with the Wacem comment Roy...best flying head on the market!

 

[joehunter8301]

Vpa terminator for any and every animal for me from turkeys to camels to muskox

 

[Juan_ID]

Might not make it to hunt elk this season but if I do I'll be shooting Shuttle T's or Terminal T's... Never had any head fly better for me than Trophy Takers...

I have always been a firm believer in fixed blades for elk but after checking out the new Ulmer Edge mechanical broadhead at a sport show this winter I might make an exception. Haven't been able to get my hands on any yet to do some testing so I'm not totally sold on it for elk yet but it looked like a elk killer to me. Can't wait to do some testing this summer.
