Im shooting a Mathews Drenalin 70 lb with PSE Radial X-weave carbon arrows. I'm thinking i need to switch to aluminum's for adde weight for elk. I've got 2213's and 2413's, which one would u go with? Im thinking about shooting 125 grain muzzys or something similar. What do u say?

Any arrow you would use for a deer will work on an elk.
I would highly suggest using extremely sharp fixed blade heads and make sure not to hit the shoulder.
The last elk I shot with a bow was a 45 yard shot. He was exactly broadside and I got a pass through and the arrow buried deep into the earth on the other side. I was using my same 70lb set-up I use for whitetail here. The only difference was the broadhead. I use Rage on deer and I used a 125 grain 3-blade Muzzy on that elk.
If you do decide to go with an aluminum shaft, I'd choose the one that shoots the best and not be overly concerned about extra weight.

My arrows is just over 400 grains and that is with a 100 grain 3 blade Muzzy. I am pulling 65 lbs with a KE of 63. It did the job just fine on the bull I killed years ago.

Hotdog! I found 9 2413's in my stash last night! Brand new, old stock. They are un-cut. I will have to fletch them with vanes. 4 are fletched with feathers, but im going with 4 inch vanes on these. RH

I wouldn't switch back to aluminum arrows for nothing.

I'm shooting Gold Tip Kinetic XT 300 with 100 gr Slick Trick Magums. They come out to 484 gr total weight at 303 FPS out of a 70 lb Bowtech Carbon Overdrive.

I wouldn't switch back to aluminum arrows for nothing. I might weigh my PSE Radial X-weaves in the morning. They shoot great with 100 gr slick trick mags out of my Mathews.

As stated in a previous post, kinetic energy or KE is the number that your after. There are some KE calculators on the internet. Whatever you choose, good luck and have fun.

I would be taking these on your elk hunt. The PSE Radial x weaves with 100 gr slick trick only weighed 352 grains. 2213 XX78 with 100 gr point weighed 450 gr. I'm gonna try the aluminums and see how they shoot!
