    This buck was from Utah, a little over 40 inches wide. It was always on private land, well known buck in the area and a kid poached it out of season when it crossed onto public land. A friend of mine put in for the unit closest to the private land and told me this story a few years back but could never find the photos of it. Magnificent buck.

    Ive shot animals with rages, slick tricks, inverters( extremely similar to the shwackers), SHWACKERS, muzzies, and rocky mountain gators. I've helped track countless animals shot with an assortment of other heads shot by other people too. I have come to the conclusion that shot placement is far more important than the head that you choose. With your setup, a shwacker will work just fine. It will work beyond just fine. Its a great head for BROADSIDE shots. Most mechanicals are underated by most and overrated by some. As long as the blades are strong enough to withstand the impact of elk bones( shwackers have been proven to be) and you've got enough arrow weight/speed combination a.k.a momentum or kinetic energy depending on what "expert" you're talking to, then a mechanical is a fine choice. I would suggest a 1.5" shwacker for elk rather than a 2" to ensure penetration but that's just my personal opinion. I shot my one and only bull elk with a razor trick thru the heart and only found one drop of blood in the 120 yard tracking job because the shoulder cartilage sealed up the hole. Would I use a razor trick again? You bet ya. Would I use a shwacker or any other well built mechanical? You bet ya. Would I use a flimsy bladed rage on an elk? Not unless I was shooting an elk without a ribcage. -creed

    How about the Rage Hypodermic, looks pretty solid for any animal.

    Thanks fellas, seems like everyone I know has nothing bad to say about them. I have shot one and the valley is ridiculous but I haven't known anyone who has owned one for over a year... Looks like Elite hit it big with their new design and will become one of the top sellers the next few years. I'll stick with my good old Hoyt for now... It will be hard to stay away from the Elite and being able to hold your draw for hours upon hours.
