    For treestand shots at 20 or less, any of the first three options would work well. Personally, I would swing towards option 2 for a little more speed at white-tails. Option three would be your best bet against larger animals like elk.

    For 20 or less I would go with option 4. I tend to look at momentum over kentic energy. Now on longer shots I would go option 1 with a 2 blade head for the speed. One of my setups i shoot a 435gr Maxima Red with a 125gr Solid broad head, but that is for a set where I can get out to a 55yrd shot. My other sets I shoot either 482gr or 535gr.

    I thought about trying the Blu RZ's this year but I had the Red's laying around. I may pick some up to try with my 100gr German Kentic's on.
