Best Broadhead 190 to 200 gr for Elk?

[Elk Chaser]

I would like to know what broadhead has given you the best performance on ELK
I will be shooting a 70# bow Carbon Tech Safari arrows and total weight of 720 to 750 gr
Thanks in advance

I have only used 2 different BHs on elk.  I started with a Bear (new style razorhead-it didn't hold up too well when it hit a bone. The ferrel seperated from the blades) for my first elk.  After that I have taken 4 elk with a Zwickey Eskimo 2 blade.  Haven't had any problems with this head even after hitting big bones and a big rock (after a miss).  One tough BH.  I do take the sharp tip down to a small chisel point on mine, just to help it not to curl over.  I don't have any personal experience with other BHs so I'll let others chime in.

Oh, forgot to say, I glue my 125gr. BHs to a 125gr. steel adapter to get it to 250 gr. If you wanted right at 200 you would use the 75 gr. adapter.

With your set up you could shoot about anything....but I would suggest a Wensel Woodsman on a 75gr steel adapter.....

If you prefer 2 bl...Zwickey delta with appropriate adapter......

I second what Curt said...

I've only shot one elk, but my 250g Woodsman CRUSHED him.  He was a mature bull and I will use Woodsman on anything elk sized an up and Snuffers on anything elk sized on down.  You could use BIG Snuffers with that setup   :eek:

Bill,

I've had very good results with a 145 grain Eclipse and the long 42 grain b/h adapters.  With the hot melt/epoxy, you'll end up around 190 grains.  Very strong, they mount straight and are relatively easy to sharpen.  They're teflon coated, but I don't know that it helps in penetration.  Good luck on your pursuit of elk.  Plenty of good broadheads out there.

Killed big bull last year w/ a 200gr Ace from a 62lbs @26'' w/ 560gr total weight arro.30yrd shot went thru the shoulder blade,centered the rib under the blade and stopped just under the skin at the opposite side.
Not sure if a 3 blade head would have gott'n that far,but darn sure now a 2 blade will

I've been using either Muzzy Phantoms or Razorcaps for a number of years now. I have taken quite a few animals, bear, deer and one moose recently. Both heads have performed very well but the Razorcap seems to put animals down quickly. I shot a 600# cow moose last year with a 60# DAS and a 340 Beman arrow tipped with a Razorcap. The moose took 3 steps and was down. I am sure a Woodsman would have done as well.
