Easton ACC 3-60/340 with the 100g G5 montec. This year I'm using the nockturnal lighted nocks. Now that I'm thinking about what I'm shooting it's kinda scary how much money I loose every time I miss!!!

What ever happened to XX75s with Black Diamond Deltas?

 

 

 

Boy, have times changed...

You left out cedar arrows, and gamegetter 2's but you might be to young.

I actually hunted javalina w/cedar shafts and a bear bow, later with an 85# Daman Howatt and the XX75s they were big, 23-something... can't recall. My first bow was an Indian back in 1972 set up w/1816 Gamegetters and Bear broadheads... soft steal, but easy to sharpen.

 

I didn't hunt elk w/cedar shafts wanting something a little more stout...

 

Yes, the times sure have changed...

What is everyone's thoughts about using a mechanical vs fixed blade on an elk?

 

You can if you take broadside close shots only. Mechanicals can fail, and many don't like them, but when used "properly" they can be devastating. I have used the type that open after penetrating as opposed to those that open on the outside first.

 

 

matter of preference, but get one that shoots like darts, because they all don't IMHO.

 

Not sure you need to though, a well placed shot w/just about any sharp broadhead will do the job... key is sharp and well placed.

 

don't take frontal or quartering towards you type shots, best is broadside or quartering away. Rear facing shots are also a bad idea imo... you really need to punch the lungs, and if you do like I said...

 

 

my 2cents anyway...
