I use slick trick magnums.  Makes a big hole all the way through. 
However, practice, and placement is more important than which broad head.
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.

Slick trick (std, mags and vipertricks), G5 (montec and striker), and trophy taker (shuttle-t and terminal-t) all make very durable and proven elk killers.

This is exactly right. Stick with something proven. I personally used to use the montecs but switched to the G5 Strikers and they make a ridiculous mess. The blades are scary sharp - the sharpest I've found. Both elk I've shot with my Strikers went down within in 25 yard and both heads are back in my quiver with fresh blades and still look brand new. My hunting partner used  Slick tricks and they are also a great broadhead. I've got several buddies who hunt with Shuttle T's and love them. You're not going to go wrong with one of these three brands.

I've never sharpend shuttle t's and have killed a dozen or so elkwith them and never had a lack of penitration . since they sold i've mainly shot slick tricks not quite as tough but cause servere trama and killer blood trails . If you use the mind set of accruracy and can keep it in the pocket all of the top choices will get it done . with the inserts in the carbons a screw and shoot bh has benifits and the shuttle t's typically fit that bil. on a second note leave inserts out so you can set up your four blades to the string . for fast compound bow i'd stay away from two bladers inless they have a good bleeder blade . I've seen fat on elk plug the hole and leave dissmal blood trails .

Kind of partial to Slick Tricks but there's not a bad one out there these days.
