What is the best one to run through an Idaho elk and Washington elk this year? I want to join the RAD harvest thread!

Ok... RAD question. What is the main difference in a mad max LPS 100 grain head and the Van Dyke LPS 100 grain? Is it titanium ferrule only? Do they use the same blades?blades are the same for both heads.

75ish yards thru the air. Broke the last rib and hit the other side at an odd angle causing the broad head to cut thru 6 ribs and come out in front of the shoulder. Complete pass through...hoping to shoot and elk with the same arrow/broadhead.

Ultra Con X and 2317 arrow at 650 grains hammered my Oregon bull. It shattered the heaviest part of the off-side shoulder on a complete pass-through and knocked him over into the wallow, and I got my first 0 yard recovery elk.That would suck if you were hunting solo. How'd you get him out of the mud?

Parachute cord around the antlers and drag it towards the camera angle. All I could do.

Finally, my first archery kill. Triple Sec from behind front right shoulder through left rear leg, and into a root ball. Just needs to be rinsed off and it's good for another deer!

Didn't get a field pic, so took a selfie in the garage. The opposite of long arming. Instead of an average blacktail, it looks like a booner grey squirrel!

He broke the g2 and g3 on his left side rolling down the hill. His right side is actually a drop club with some goofy eyeguards. My apologies as the pics arent the best due to his location and the yellow jackets!

Sweet, nice shooting on the grouse! Did you get your arrows back? Maybe 1 of 2?
We won't talk about loosing arrows :chuckle:
There's a "few" arrows in stumps, trees, and buried in the ground...I'm investing in judo tips next year unless rad has a small game head to help prevent lost arrows and soften the blow on my wallet...I did only lose one good broadhead through :chuckle: and boy was that fun stalking these grouse with a bow...I would only shoot under 20yds for the challenge and had a blast, going back out tomorrow with my boy and his new 20ga

Nice birds and pics!
I have a weakness when it comes to grouse during deer elk season. Maybe I should work on a limited skip and bury small game head. The G5 S.G.H. is pretty good option of you can't get the judo to shoot with your broadheads. It does skip more than a Judo does, but kills grouse and even Arizona's monster bunnies with authority!
When I was young we would buy steel blunts by the 100 bag. Then spend a weekend at the drill press making two holes at 90 degrees and pressing roll pins in them. Not sure what they weighed when we were done, but we killed a bunch of grouse and sage rats with them.

My dad used the 100 gr Madman crossbow and I used the TiCon 100. This was the fourth deer that this arrow has taken. the TiCon had awesome penetration with a crappy shot....
My arrow entered in the rear ham, exited the inside, entered the stomach, passed the length of a corn filled stomach, center punched the liver, missed a lung by about a half inch, passed through a rib and chopped the crap out of the inside of front leg. This with a 25 or so yard shot with a 60-62 pound bow.
