Mathews Lift X 29.5 set at 70#, B3 Linx single pin sight, QAD MX2 integrate drop down, 2 piece integrated quiver, 12" spider front Stab, 8" spider rear stab, evolution outdoors shadow release, and Victory HLR arrows with 60gr outsert with 20gr weight (possibly 50gr), AAE pro hunter vanes, and Evolution outdoors hyde broadheads. I will also carry 1-2 Jekyll broadheads in my quiver incase I need to make a brush shot. This arrow will be specifically for elk. I will build something a bit lighter for mule deer.

Mathews Halon set at 70#, Spott Hogg 5 pin sight and I still like a whisker biscuit for the ease and reliability.  Just had arrows shortened a bit and inserts added for more weight and improving FOC, have 125 grain tips and an insert, at 464 grains overall arrow weight and 13.5% FOC.

Last year I shot a bull with GrizzlyStick single bevel 125 grains overall arrow broadheads.  Penetration was good but blood trail was abysmal to non-existent.  Recovered the bull and it didn’t run far, but I want more blood so I’m looking at something with more cutting edge this year.  Thoughts from this group?  Looking at iron will single bevel but with bleeders.
