Giving the Evolution Jekyll glue-ins a try this year! Hopefully, I have some good results in a few weeks! Not on an elk of course...

Compound, I use the Annihilator. Made in Idaho. Impressive results on elk.
Traditional I use RMS gear Cutthroat 200-250 single bevel.

Gonna try VPA broadheads this year. Brother has had good luck with them. A 3 pack was an eye watering $67.50.

Probably a 125 Black Hornet Ser Razor. See how it does on bear in a couple weeks.

Kayuga Pilot Cut 140gr with the bigger bleeders. They are cost effective. Easy to sharpen and will go completely through an elk. Why play around?

Plan to try G5's new 2-blade mech.
From: Keepitreal

Those Kayuga pilots are some filthy mcnasty buggers. Gotta love a single bevel for blowing a hole thru a scapula rather than mech blades breaking off right there.

You should never run with broadheads. Using Exodus 125 swept.

I’ll have 125 grain Iron Will single bevels, 150 grain Iron Will wides, and 100 grain Sevr 2.0 in my quiver in the fall.

Most likely Ramcats or Ramcat Hemoshocks. Haven't decided, but the hemoshock did a fine job on a pig a month ago.

I run but no longer race. Why? Stay in shape to elk hunt.
I will test Magnus Black Hornet SER 150g. I like the 1 1/4” cut.

I like the penetration I’ve been getting from the old Ace Standard…
LOL.
But you’ve gotta admit… 90 years is a pretty good test drive….

No running for me either. Slow and steady wins the race. But I shoot Iron Will 125 solids and vented toward elk.
From: IdyllwildArcher

VPA 125 grain for everything. Vented in the mountains, unvented outside of the mountains.
And don't believe Jacuomo or wyobullshooter for a second; an AARP 10% discount at Hooters would see them rediscovering their legs/lungs and putting on their best Usain Bolt impression.

Ike, apparently you haven’t heard the story about the old bull and the young bull standing on the hillside, overlooking a meadow full of sweet, young heifers. lol!

No elk for me this year, but I hope to fast walk a Wasp Boss through a mtn. goat this fall.

Not hunting elk this fall didn't draw anywhere. If i had a tag I would use the head that I have used for the last 20 hunts, a 100 grain thunderhead. I have been asked many times why I shoot them, simple they haven't given me any reason not to shoot them. Fourteen hunts they have performed well with my good shots and bad,

I keep using the old faithful Wasp Jak Hammer. 1 3/4” cut

“I like two holes.“
Ditto. Iron Will 125 solids here. Hunted with them last year and missed high on the one bull I got a shot on but had unmatched penetration on the aspen I hit.

I've used so many broadheads over the years it's tough to single out a favorite. So many great heads out there.
However, I know what I won't be using & that's any 2 bladed head. Their blood trails are weak & add a lot of concern when tracking is necessary.

Gonna use this one, 100% USA made.
From: Treeline

Most likely VPA 200 grain 1 1/4" and 200 grain Snuffers will be in the quiver again. The last couple of 2-blade kills with really good single bevel broadheads left less than favorable blood trails. Not sure I want to risk losing an elk with no blood on the ground.

I will keep using good old Wasp Jak-Hammers. Select-A-Cut collar 1.5 inch cut option for elk.

I have been now for quite a few years shooting the 100 grain viper tick. Is nothing fancy nor the latest and greatest but man I have killed some good elk and many other critters with those.

Going back to basics this year with 2 blade Zwickey deltas. I have taken many animals in the past with them,with both compound and traditional bows. Staying with traditional from now on.
