Multiple people have recommended sending a couple to lusk archery to test out on his YouTube. I suggest you do that. If they perform as advertised I think you’ll see a big bump in sales.

Any broadhead with blade angles at or near 90 degrees to the flight path will not penetrate as well as heads with a lower degree of angle.
That's a fact.
From: Ward's Outfitters

sundowner pass throughs are common with Vortex heads. Thousands of animals have been harvested with them without failure. The new engineering of bows produce more than enough energy.

Yes, just ordered the steel 100 grains 2” cut. Does a number on big hogs. That hogs shield was over 1/2” thick, went right thru!

WIth the proper setup any of out 2" broadheads are fine for elk.
From: SteveB

I'd like to see 1.5" more swept blade, this would be a good elk and moose option
From: Ward's Outfitters

Elk and Moose are not an issue with our 2 inch cutting diameter heads. We reccomend a minimum of 70 KE for the larger game like moose, bison, elk. Our clients have harvested numerous elk even with the vortex 2.50" . I harvested this Bison in Northern Arizona on the House Rock. I was shooting a 70# bow with a 380 grain arrow and the 75 grain 2.0" Vortex. I shot him at 40 yards. The shot cut one rib on the entrance and lodged into another on the off side. The bull ran 55 yards and expired.

How far away are you behind that Bison? It's head is larger than you are in the picture.
