Try 4 fletched arrows. There is no need to line them up and you do not have to look down to nock your arrow. I am a firm believer in a heavy stiff arrow. Better down range trajectory and penetration. Also much tougher. Shuttle T broadhead is a great choice. Spendy but well worth it. If you get a shot, you want your arrow /broadhead combination to do it's job. AAE Veins also work well. No prep necessary. Max Bond glue is wonderful. You can fletch a dozen arrows in 20 minutes ,go shoot them right away and pull them by the fletches if you want.[/quotethree blade you can also do the same with out lining them up. its just a personal preferance i do.. Buy the arrow you think you would get a complete pass through with. Sometimes heavier is not better. with my setup i have got complete pass throughs at 90 yards with no problems.. Its all what works best through your bow and your mind..
You can easily get passthroughs on deer with any legal weight arrow. When it comes to elk, it's better to be on the medium-heavy side. I like to be in the 430-450 gr range, gives me the best combo of Momentum/Energy and speed/trajectory. When calculating KE a light fast arrow will have close to the same amount of KE as a slower heavier one right out of the bow. But, once you get to 20+ yards the heavier arrow will have more KE/momentum and will penetrate better in heavy skinned animals like elk.
