Ramcats

[Chirogrow]

Anyone have ant experience using ramcats for moose? I have great experience using them for elk but I know moose is a huge difference. I like the slightly bigger cut than the qad but with a bigger cut usually comes less penetration. Any thoughts?

Take a look at the video Lusk did on the Ramcat and decide for yourself. Between the two, the Exodus is a tougher head.

Sorry I have no experience with Moose but I have used them on elk and they do a great job. If I was going on a Moose hunt I would use them. Just like everything else, it's all about shot placement.

I watched that video and asked him which one he would use for moose but haven’t got a reply yet. I just sent it last night for the record. Looks like the penetrate through same so a little bigger cut for the same penetration sounds great but the weakness of the blades and head is a concern.

Honestly, it takes one intact blade to kill an animal. I don't think it wouldn't kill a moose. They are a good head in general and fly very well. People kill moose every year with a variety of mechanicals, so it isn't like it's impossible or even improbable. I bring up mechanicals due to the similar construction.

That said, if you have other options that are stouter in construction, why not use one of those?

Is this an Alaska moose, Canada or Shiras? Big size differences between those three. Shiras is so close to elk, I'd use whatever I use for elk. Canada probably the same, but I would go with a heavier arrow and stout head for Alaska.

Thanks for the feedback! Is northern Alberta so Canadian moose but I’ve read they get close to Yukon size

I’m sure they would be fine. Just an FYI I got a complete passthrough on a moose I took a few years ago with the Exodus at 74 yards for what it’s worth. Last year I used the Kudupoint broadhead on my moose. Was able to get two arrows in him. Both complete passthroughs.
