I am hunting Eland this September. I am using a Tenpoint Stealth NXT shooting a 500 gr arrow at 385 FPS. The KE of this setup is approx. 165 ft lbs at zero yds and 155 ft lbs at 30 yds.
My choice of broadhead is a Slick Trick Crossbow 150 gr.
What have you used?
 
450 grain arrow # 63 Bowtech Assasin at 270 fps and Magnus Stinger 4 blade. Complete penetration at 20 yards.

Terrific! I guess my setup will be OK.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
