I just figure my chances are better with a substantial, albeit narrower head which has no moving parts and fewer potential points of failure. Look at both ELKMAN and Ermine. If you think they are remotely comparable you are delusional. That's why, IMO. Relatively easy to tune and tend to penetrate exceedingly well. Smaller cutting diameter fixed broadheads will fly better than large diameter broadheads. So, it's been my observation over the past 20 or so years that the VAST majority of elk I've heard of being wounded and lost were shot with a rifle. How many HOGS have you killed? Speaking again of steel, Slick Trick uses German LUTZ Stainless Steel for their blades, which is some of the best in the world. The only downside to these broadheads is the price tag. Hopefully he can see that & choose a respectable head & get to practicing with it so he has the utmost confidence in it! 1.5 inch cut w/ 125g broad heads at a 70lb draw makes for the perfect combo. Think we've 16 different broadheads mentioned in 35 posts. Maybe your opinion should have some validity itself. Most broadheads come in 100 and 125 grain models. Flight is true and extremely accurate. Only the Legacy shock collars work on an O-ring broadhead. I never shot anything with the 6 blade but hunted with guys who did.

I'm beginning to think Bowsite is loaded with women. There is always the inexperienced guy that will screw the mechanical on thinking that is the magic potion and go and screw up. There are some high end broadheads on the market made with super high tolerances that will last more than one season. The cut was significant through the board, but when I recovered the arrow, only one blade remained. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. There's a ton of elk slaying experience on this thread....I think you shoot the equipment you're confidence is built in...until it isn't anymore. I've eaten over 20 bulls, shot with fixed heads, where the arrow didn't pass thru. Yes. Both have a steel ferrule and Lutz steel blades. I've got a dosimeter at work thanks to Workplace safety and health, and would actually be interesting to maybe test the noise difference between arrow setups... sorry don't want to derail this thread. This thread and well as the other 100's on the same topic all boil down to the same findings. There's a problem loading this menu right now. Elk are big critters! If not, I should have. We carefully slipped to 15 yards & my son put another arrow into him to finish him off. Adequate penetration on elk is critical. First, you have to choose between the serrated or straight blade. This Bull went less than 35 yards with a RAGE... ;-). Broadheads aren't a religion with me. But I have to agree 100% with the comments above. ;-). Their blades also have a tanto tip and low profile designed to minimize resistance and maximize penetration on game. I'd requested it earlier. Magnus has the best warranty and support in the business. If a shot goes bad and hits the bull in the shoulder bone where it is heaviest, does it matter if the head is fixed or mechanical? Bull took off on a trot and died within about 5 seconds, I love that pic Justin.... it has the look of "this is so awesome, but oh my... what I've gotten myself into....".
