Wac Em 3 or 4 blade. They fly beautifully through the air and elk
QAD Exodus is what I shoot, if you have good arrows and a bow in tune they are 100% as accurate as ANY mechanical on the market. I only shoot them out to 115 yards though so maybe mechanicals could be more accurate.... That's sarcasm by the way, if fixed broadheads of good quality are less accurate than mechanicals you have an arrow or a tuning problem. Or both If you can't screw out your mechanicals and screw in a fixed of good quality , shoot to dial in a new sight tape and be good to go hunting tomorrow you have an arrow or a tuning problem. Or both. Fixed will drift in the wind a bit more than a mechanical and that is the only downside in my opinion.

My pick in broad head would be the QAD Exodus.

Hey, I agree if he's shooting something already that works good for him stay the path. But if he decides do go simple a traditional broadhead will work also. My son shoots them out of his compound with excellent results.

Magnus Black Hornet. Either version will work well, but I prefer the Ser Razor version. They're extremely easy to tune, fly great, and are extremely effective on game animals. They're also made in the USA.
I evolved in archery like you. Stick bows/recurves with ziwicky, bear, peaeson then changeable blade, savora, satellite, wasp.Then compound bows and mechanicals, The first truly devastating head I ever put through and animal was a barrie rocky mountian snyper, Huge holes and great short blood trails. The rage uses the same slip cam as the snyper and cuts a huge entrance while using no extra foot pound of energy, it cuts a wide swath and then exits with a huge bloody hole both holes bleediing better than a small 1" to 1 3/8 fixed blade and the wounds don't close up and quit bleeding.

I've had great success over many years with Slick Trick 100 gr heads. Tough, great penetration, dead elk & deer. What more can you ask ?

+1 for QAD Exodus. I live in MT and have killed my fair share of elk. I only have one experience with mechanical heads on elk and it was a rage that a buddy was shooting. All I will say is it didn't turn out well. Between me my brother and a handful of friends a lot of elk have met thier demise to a QAD Exodus. It's tough, sharp and flies awesome.
I shoot a long draw 31.5 and fixed blade are a pain in the butt . I quit using expandable broadheads some time back . I had a deer hit at 18 yds and it didn't open. I now use nap hellrazors. My buddy shoots exodus and if you get them to tune they are great on elk.
The last three elk I have taken with my bow were all with Rage Trypan Mechanical Broadheads and I have never had a problem. Before the rage I was using the Montec from G5. Solid One piece construction and they flew great out of my bow. They just never did seem to be near as sharp as a replaceable blade broadhead and since its all about the cut with a broadhead, I switched, and have never looked back. Unfortunately broadheads are just like bullets sometimes **** just happens. If you stick to a reasonable range and make a good shot into the boiler room they are all going to work as long as they are razor sharp. Try to shoot through a shoulder and your screwed no matter what you use. JMO
