65 lb Drenalin, 29" arrow. Which carbon arrow & head for elk?

I was shooting PSE Radial X-weaves but they only weighed 350 grs. I've been shooting 2213 aluminums with 100 gr Muzzy's the last couple weeks, they weigh 452 grs. I just dont know about going on a elk hunt with aluminum's.

Which carbons and broadhead combo should i get? Thx, Rh

Update:
Thx for talking me out of the aluminum arrows.
I went today & bought Golt Tip Kinetic XT's 300 spine. 10.4 gpi, the 29" arrow with Blazer vanes & 125 gr point weighs in at 475 grains. Perfect weight for an elk arrow. I'm still deciding on a 125 gr broadhead. Thx, RH
I like Gold Tip 340's and 125gr Slick Trick Mags but I'm only deer hunting.
















I like Carbon Express Max-Hunters, ran 350 spine in my Drenalin with about the same specs, think I was shooting at 62 pounds of draw weight. With a 100 grain broadhead, 400-425 of weight behind a Slick Trick.

I personally would not take aluminum arrows, too many ways for my klutzie butt to bend them out of the woods, YMMV.

CE-MH are easy to get about any where if you have to replace them, lost bags, baggage handlers, or the pack horse...or me!
I especially wouldnt take 2213s. The wall is way too thin on those for anything but target shooting IMO.
Victory V-Force arrows and Shuttle T-Locks 100gr broadheads, a deadly combo on moose and bears.
Im taking Easton Axis 300 spine arrows, and, after testing one of 4 possible broadheads.

Swhacker
Shuttle T
Slick Trick Magnum
Steel Force phat head.

Based just on appearance, design, reputation and sharpness, it's looking Steel Force, Slick Trick, Shuttle T, then Swhacker.
I like victory hv's with a single piece broad head like the Montec or Hellrazor so nothing needs to move to make them work properly. I use right helical max hunters to steady the arrow. Lots of combinations work with good arrow placement.
I'd go Easton Nemesis 340 with a 100 grain Grave Digger COC. They fly like darts. They penetrate. The COC head is gonna cut and the mech blades are gonna open a hole. If I wasn't shooting grave digger then my next choice would be the Dirt Nap Gear DRT single bevel
I shoot through deer, elk and bear with a 90 or 100 four blade muzzy and a 65 lb Drenaline and 29 in Gold Tip Ultralights in size 400.

It's better to spend your thinking with regard to getting and making the shot, and if you get the chance stick it in the chest through the point of the shoulder if its angling toward you so the broadhead works the heart and lungs over as it runs off about 75-100 yards.
Easton ACC and a fixed broadhead, Magnus, Thunderhead, or Muzzy leave the mechanical alone.
O ye of little faith. Lol
I'm taking 29" Carbon Express Piledrivers with 100gr Slick Trick Magnums. Pushing them with my Bowtech Guardian set at 65lbs.
I wound up ordering Magnus Stinger 4 blade 125's, should be here any day. Cant wait to see how they fly.
I shot through a Wildebeast, which is about the size of an elk, with a 100 grain Magnus stinger. Hit just barely behind the onside leg and exited the offside shoulder. The broadhead looked like it could be used again. I was shooting a 58 pound Hoyt and carbon arrows, Gold Tip, I think. The animal didn't go far so I assume it would work on elk too.
