“In the past I have shot several Cape buffalo in Africa as well as Asiatic Water Buffalo in Australia and Indian Water buffalo in Argentina. These bovine top out at one ton. I have use a variety of broadheads on those big animals in the past but nothing penetrated like the Ashby head did on the hippo, which is twice as heavy as any buffalo.”

“This Cape buffalo was shot with GrizzlyStik Safari arrow tipped with a Nanook broadhead. The arrow weighed 900 grains and chronographed at a speed of 235 fps shot out of an 82# APA Black Mamba. The shot was 42 yards and the GrizzlyStik exited the chest wall after splitting ribs on both sides. When the arrow was recovered from the ground, the Nanook was still hair shaving sharp. The blood trail was impressive and he was dead before he made it 70 yards. As a matter of fact, the TV crew that filmed the hunt and shot said that it would have to be edited because of the massive blood lose. My PH said he was amazed by the arrow and broadhead performance and had never seen a buff killed with an arrow so quickly. ”

"I've just returned from Africa, and I could not be happier with the performance of the GrizzlyStiks or the Ashby broadheads.
The Cape buffalo, shot at 26 yards, died within 1 minute, with penetration through both near and far ribs, the arrow finally resting under the skin.
Thank you for making this possible. What a great arrow-broad head combo for the very largest of game.
I think I should try it on elephant next..." Wadih Macksoud
Here's a BIG African elephant bull. One shot with our Ashby broadhead. was all it took.
"Ed, attached are the photos of my buffalo. In addition, as I mentioned I also included a photo of the penetration test we did. The grizzly stick with an Ashby head weighed 970 grains and was shot from a Hoyt Katera at 18 yards. The draw weight was 74 1/2 lbs. and the arrow speed was 200 feet per second. With what I would deem a perfect shot on a buffalo, the arrow sank down to the fletching. As for my buff, this hunt was spot and stalk and on the morning of the 2nd day, we crossed buffalo sign early got our gear and set off, I should mention at a VERY fast pace. In fact, the PH estimated we covered about 15 miles in less than 2 hours. We finally caught up with a herd of buffalo, estimated to number about 70. At that time we were in a malpani tree and under brush area. Which is when we started having problems with the wind direction. We would get into what we thought was a perfect position and the wind would change direction. The buffalo never went too far as they only caught a whiff of us periodically and never saw us. At one point we found a dry stream bed I thought was going to be perfect for an ambush. We were in this bed, setting up for what I hoped was going to be an easy, take your time type shot. However, as we know sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men go awry. Once again, the wind changed direction and the buffalo spooked. The next plan had us coming up from behind the herd, hopefully dead down wind! As it worked out we got to about 40 yards and they spotted us. There happened to be a great bull at the back of the herd and even though we did not have time to range him we both estimated him at 40 and the PH said use your 40 yard pin and shoot now! I did even though he had just started moving. My shot was about 6-8 inches further back than I would have liked, but it ultimately did the job. In fact, after the pictures were taken and he was field dressed we cut out part of a loin built a fire and had buffalo for lunch! A great end to a great hunt. This hunt was in a area of Zambia called the Rufunsa. It was on the Zambeze River right across from Zimbabwe and about 8 miles upriver from Mozambique. I actually got in some good Tiger fish and Cornish Jack fishing. My PH was Strang Middleton of Bowhunters Zambia. I have hunted with a lot of PH's all over the world but none have worked harder for me than Strang, I can highly recommend him."
