I have shot two, first one with a 160gr Magnus 2 blade, and the other with a 160 gr 3 blade Snuffer. Both were pass through double long, the Magnus Elk didn't make it out of sight, but the Snuffer had a blood trail like pouring out a gallon paint can.
Lefties are the only ones who hold the bow in the right hand.

I'd go with the orange ones and either a Zwicky Eskimo or a Hunter's Head for lower poundage elk setups.

Lots of good heads out there, just make sure yours are sharp.

I have killed them with Zwicky, Magnus, and Bear razor heads. My only BH failure on a big bull was back in the mid 80'd with a 3 blade satellite head, it hit a rib and the ferrel broke off right where it goes into the insert. Looked like it just crystalized.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good
