Default Moose hunting broadheads

Just curious if anyone has any experience with using NAP killzone broadheads on moose I have shot a few deer with them and they work great just curious about the thicker hide. What does everyone shoot for broadheads on moose and how well have they worked?

Default Broadheads

Moose are easy to kill for such big animals but every year people lose them to two things. Improper shot placement and poor penetration. Watch some YouTube videos and pay special attention to penetration, if the arrow doesn't dissapear from sight, I consider it poor penetration. If half the arrow (and often more) is visible it's poor penetration, no question. Seriously, watch some videos

Every time that I've gone after big animals I've paid special attention to my arrows and broadheads. A well set up arrow can "sometimes" overcome the problems encountered hunting. Problems that cause poor flight, poor shot placement, poor penetration etc. Do some serious research regarding your arrows and you'll probably come up with a different combination than most folks believe in.

Take a look at dr. Ashby reports and also look up Andy Ivy, I think he's got some videos on YouTube shooting big animals.

The only Moose I've shot with the bow was with the old Rocket steel heads. Worked great!

I use NAP Killzones to, i haven't shot a moose with them yet but they should work good on them even with the ticker hide

I figure they would work good because they are similar to the rage. I think I will just stick with the killzone I did a few tests the last couple days and I feel pretty confident in the broadheads

Still using NAP Thunderheads in 125 grain. Had to replace a couple of blades but in over 30 years they still do the job. Firm believer in fixed blades, why mechanicals, just asking for trouble. Moose, elk they all go down with Thunderheads as long as the arrows in the right place.

Use cut on impact broadheads like Montec,Helrazors,Copperheads,Muzzy's,Wasp's etc on elk and moose.
I have killed 20 or more of these and these are just over all more effective.
You get away with the odd marginal shot.
Modern day mechanicals are good, and way better than what we had 3 or 5 years ago.
Good shot placement likely more important than the broadhead.
