I've been using Rage Two Blade Hypodermics and had decent results. I would like everyone else's opinion on the subject. I shoot a Mathews Helium 70 pound draw. I think my arrows are 400 grain but I could be mistaken.

I'm going to shoot slick trick magnum 100's. my arrows came in at 403 grains.

Most on here will tell you anything other than a Rage. Personally I will be shooting a Slick 125 Magnum. I do shoot Rages during deer season but no way I'd risk it on an elk!

This year I will be using a Ram Cat 125 grain
I use to shoot ST, but like this head too much and shoots so very very well
My last two elk were killed with a 125 Muzzy and a 140 grain Razor Cap.......
Although I do not shoot a Rage or expandables, for those that knock them, well do not tell that to Tom Miranda,,,,,, that guy has killed everything with them

I started using ramcat 125 towards the end of last season--connected on a Nilgai bull at 65 yds quartering away--- he might have gone 50 yds-- last year I used VPA 125 on a elk bull at 20 yds head on-- he went 70 yds-- VPA will probably last almost a life time by sharpening as needed--ramcat blades are pretty much a one time shot head but can replace blades as needed--lots of good heads out there

Majority of hardcore elk hunters will say strong fixed blade. A lot will only consider COC. Mechanicals are usually the minority or lack experience.

Zwickey's in any flavor, deadly out of any bow built including 300fps compounds. I even used them with an overdraw on a 94# PSE Mach six, lengthways through a five point bull.

Ramcat 125's, very accurate, no planing, great penetration and bloodtrails, every thing I look for in a broadhead.

Used ST Viper Trick last year. Thinking about going with the Mag this year for the slightly larger cutting surface. I like the mags for deer, and want to consolidate to 1 head. The Viper Trick is an excellent head though, killed a few for me last year, but wasn't over impressed with the blood trails. My arrow is 545 grns, and I think my setup is more than adequate to handle the steeper blade angle on the mags.

The last three years my broadhead of choice for everything is a is the Slick Trick standard 100 gr. The four blades cause alot of bleeding.

Last year I used a Wasp 1 3/4" cut Jak Hammer. 100gr. As usual, big hole, lots of blood, short trail.

I'll be using Slick Trick Magnum 100's again this year. I've killed most of my elk with Wasp Boss SST 100's.
I killed a couple deer with Wasp Jak Hammer 1 3/4" mechanicals but I had one deflect off of the ribcage of a little buck one time on a (perfect) slight quartering away angle and after that I quit using mechanicals.

Its a matter of what you have confidence in and what flies best out of your bow. As long as they fly true and are sharp and you can hit your target area it will kill.

Any VPA head. I have not shot an elk with them but killed 9 deer with the same head in 2 years. Tough and very easy to sharpen. Shawn

I like free beer, except for light beer. And since I have a lifetime supply of free Muzzy 125s, I like them too.
I have some free Thunderhead and VPA 125s, and may use the VPAs for elk this year.
The beer and the broadheads all work as intended.

Got on this thread a little late but in direct answer to the thread question there is no single broad head that EVERYONE likes for elk lol. On that I can pretty much guarantee you

If I'm ready with the recurve this year I'll be shooting 125 grain VPAs. If I'm shooting my compound, I'll be shooting 100 grain VPAs
I've shot elk with Montecs, Snuffer SS, and a Steelhead XL mechanical. All performed flawlessly, although I'm not real sure I'd want to shoot another with a mechanical
I've been involved with other dead elk killed with Muzzy's, and they too performed very well.
I'm sure there's a lot of other good heads on the market, but I haven't tried all of them

Ulmer edge 125's. 450g total arrow weight. Pass thru's on all elk.
I do want to mention that myself and my partner had Rage Hypodermic blades break on elk. Please don't use this head. Normal rage or rage ke seem to be good elk medicine with the right setup.
