I'll play also.

My Kenai Black bear from last spring.. a 58# Kwyk Styk  using Goldtip 5575's with 1 1/4" 250 gn. VPA up front.

I love carbons for their toughness and uniformity.

One more from 09, a 3x3 Mulie taken opening day with a 56# Morrison Shawnee, also using Goldtip 5575's but with with 2 blade Zwickey single/bevel No Mercy Broadhead and a total tip wt 235gn. with 100 gn steel insert.

Did not hunt this past fall due to wife's health issues so no deer or elk pictures from 2010.

Carbon...the only way to go.

Unless, of course, you have a big stash of aluminums or woods. Then I would use them up and go to carbon.

Oops, sorry, that was with an aluminum arrow.

I wouldn't shoot anything but carbon. Aluminum bends and wood just plain succks IMO.

still think this is the best pic I've seen in awhile,,, worthy of a the best frame money can buy!

anyway,,you just can't beat carbons in the toughness, accuracy and penetration department ALONE!  

woods are still nice but no more having to buy a hundred at a time just to get that perfect dozen..
