What broadheads would you guys recommend for moose and elk. I might be using my 70lb bow or a crossbow. Thanks Rich

I have not taken a moose--just have not had the chance to hunt them yet.  But I have killed two elk with a 145 grain 2-blade Zwickey Delta.  They were very sharp, on the front end of custom cedar arrows and flew off a 60# recurve.  One when through a 6x6 bull that turned broadside at 6 yards, the second went through a big cow but hit the off-side leg bone and came back into the animal and broke when she jumped.  Both wound up very dead very quickly.

I would not hesitate to use the same setup for moose.  I shot a buffalo that was probably heavier than the average bow killed moose with this rig, and it, too, was a quick death.

Just like deer,all you have to do is put it in the broiler room.Just make sure that your set up is flying true and your broadheads are RAZOR sharp.pan.
