Shot a Cow elk the end of Sept. with a 50# Hoyt Torrex Xt and 355gr arrow using a Wack'em 3 blade 100gr. Pass thru, arrow was about 15yards beyond the elk. This was the 3rd elk that I have killed with Wack'ems. I have no reason to change.

They are the Easton Axix 5mm 400 spine. I bought them from a guy on the classifieds. They are about 3" longer than they need to be for my draw but they shoot well so I left them like that.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
Been a Nap 125 grain spitfire guy for a lot of years. This year I opted to go two blade single bevel OVERKILL SAMURAI 200 BROADHEAD. The sample of one deer offered awesome results with the two blade this Wednesday. Deer galloped away for 15 yards, stumbled & walked another 18 yards before tiping over in well under 30 seconds.
Blood trail was non existent. Still had no trouble trailing him. Sample of one leaves me wishing to try another & use the bow for my rifle any deer tag next weekend. We will see.

Follow up to the first short video. I took the same arrow and broadhead I killed a buck with Thursday to Ohio with me today (touched up of course). This is the result. both lungs and took the one of the arteries clean off the top of the heart.
Started with Thuderhead 125's in the 80's. Founnd them to perform well when I shot fingers and pins at 50 pounds from my old Darton. When I switched to Mathews Ifound them inaccurate wiithout a serious tuning. Shot Muzzy's then Rage mechanicals. Switched to Slik trick Magnums then Standards been shooting Viper trick 100's for the last 2 years never shot a fixed blade broadhead that was more accurate put em in the right place there all pretty deadly.
Took a few years off from bow hunting and getting back into it. Was using Slick Tricks and loved them. I’ve heard that Slicks might not be what they were before…now made in China, etc.
Is there anything to this?
