I planned on using my new Rage mechanicals but a buddy said use Muzzy MX-3. after watching dream seaon 10 and seeing what rage broadheads have been doin i wanna give them a shot but at the same time wanna make sure i'm not messing up.. Any help would be great
thanks

Honestly and I mean this for myself...I've shot 5 whitetail bucks with the Rocky Mountain Snyper (Rage's cousin) and I am thoroughly impressed with the massive entrance hole and experience....on whitetails BUT,
Personally I would not use them on elk. Having elk hunted, elk are tough, tough animals and I would personally switch to Muzzy 3 blade 100 grains myself....
That's me.
