Crossbow Broadheads

[zimmy]

So my hunting partner is going to a crossbow this year for elk. Neither of us has any experience with them. He was wondering what kind of broadheads to get. I am not sure for a crossbow. Does anyone have any recommendations for a broadhead. Thanks for any help.

What state? Are mechanical broadheads legal?

Slick Trick for me based on several previous such questions of HuntTalk.

For my shooting, field point=broadhead point of impact.
Extremely sharp out of the package (first time assembly of component parts resulted in a cut thumb pad when I wasn't using as much care as required).
Full pass through and good tracking blood (helps to put it where it is supposed to go).

Wyoming. Yeah I use slick tricks and love them. Wasn't sure about mechanical for elk.

I've used the Slick Trick standards. Absolutely no complaints with them. I don't see any reason to use a flimsy mechanical on elk.

Quality spine aligned and matched crossbow arrows have as much or more impact on arrow flight than broadhead style..
