"Ed I am going to send you some pictures of my 2009 moose and bear hunt in Alberta this fall. I would like to thank you for your kind service and advice on your products. I have been hunting with a long bow for over 24 years. Over the years I have evolved my arrows to a weight forward design. This was always some what difficult do to and achieve consistent arrow flight. I have to tell you that what you guys have done with your arrows and broad heads is amazing. I have never seen an arrow perform as well as the ones you built for me. I was using your Alaskan arrows tipped with 290 gr. Nanook broad heads. Arrows were cut at 30 inches total arrow weight was about 730 gr.. The moose I shoot was at 16 yards. broad side the arrow went through booth lungs and stuck ten inches in the ground ten yards on the other side of the moose. The moose traveled 40 yards and died in less than 30 sec. On the same day that evening I took a beautiful chocolate black bear 6.5 ft. at twenty yards one shot forward and high was the shot. The bear dropped in his tracks the arrow went thru his shoulder blade, vertebrae, and opposite shoulder blade stopping just under the skin. My guide was in shock at the destruction the arrow did to the bones. Looked like you had shot him with a 338 mag. Thank you" Dennis Johnson
Here's a nice photo of an inland grizzly bear harvested in the fall of 2007 by Jeff Baumgartner. Green score was 24 ½. The bear was harvested in British Columbia with traditional archery equipment and a Silver Flame broadhead.

"Pretty good penetration from a 53# bow. Sitka shaft w/ Ashby broadhead. Penetrated to the fletching. The broadhead didn't break the skin on the other side of the animal, but you can see the broadhead trying to poke out just beneath the bow."

"Garrett, Just wanted to drop you a THANK YOU!!!! Rex Dacus and I both where successful on our Brown Bear hunt last week on the penisula! I took a 9 1/2 footer and Rex took one over 9 foot as well!
The GrizzlyStik Safaris where awesome in the harsh conditions. We had over 12 inches of rain the first 4 days of the hunt and your fletching held up perfectly. We both took our bears with traditional bows between 20 and 25 yards in pouring rain and 50 mph winds. The heavy arrows flew true and did the trick! We could not have been more pleased with your products! Thanks

"Howdy once again Garrett & Ed!
My great friend and fellow bowhunter Vinny Barbato took this beautiful 330 class bull elk in the 2009 season using one of your Alaska Bowhunting Supply broadheads - thrilled that he did! It took very little convincing to get this skilled bowhunter to switch to the best broadheads on the planet. Thank you again so very much for being a huge part of many successful hunts and for lending credence to my 20 year slogan, "Trust your guide!" ~Congratulations Vinny~"

"Here is a picture of my 6 x 6 Colorado bull elk taken on September 1st with a homemade recurve bow (Bingham), Grizzlystik Alaskan, and a STOS broadhead. Had 4 weeks off work, and hunted about an hour the first day and killed my first multi-point bull."

"Rode Walker (A.K.A. "Bonehead") was successful with the Maasai in day 3 (Sept 3rd) of his scheduled 7 day hunt. We were into bulls daily and had several close encounters with nice bulls. This was not the herd bull that we went after that morning but both he and I could not have been happier with the hunt. The Maasai performed flawlessly as the 8 yard shot blew open a rib on the entry side enabling the arrow to pass through and continue its flight for another 38 yards!"

"Another hunt ends on the 3rd day~
"My long time friend and hunting partner Eric Rome had success today taking a beautiful 300 class 6x6 this morning at 7:20am. It's well past midnight and we just got in packing out the 1st load which included some of the meat (heading back in the morning) antlers and cape. His son Dylan played a great part as my wing-man as he aided me by successfully deploying one of my decoys. It was an amazing hunt! We were into bulls every time we went out and had several close encounters prior to this morning's harvest. Eric is my second friend & bowhunter who has been successful this season. Just as Rode Walker, he too used a broadhead that he purchased from our friends Garrett & Ed Schlief at AlaskaBowhunting.com which was key in the success of this hunt. Amazingly, both Rode & Eric took their bulls at 8 yards and on day 3 of their hunts. I am attaching a few photos and plan on sending a more detailed story soon. We'll continue to keep you posted."

A monster of a Canadian moose taken near Caroline, Alberta, Canada.
"I used a PSA X Black Widow @ 53# @ 29", Grizzlystik Alaskan @ 617 grains total arrow weight utilizing a 4 blade Muzzy broadhead.
When he first came in, he stopped 8 feet from me with no good shot and when I moved he ran around me and my guide stopped him with a cow call. He stopped at 15 yards. I turned quickly, saw the dark crease behind his leg and put it there through the heart. He ran about 75 yards before dropping. I hit bone on the other side of the far shoulder which I believe is the only thing that stopped the arrow from going through.
Thanks for a great arrow. I shoot the same arrow out of three bows I own from 53 lbs to 63 lbs and they fly like darts."

"Gentlemen! Returned from northern Quebec on a great Caribou hunt!! I was able to connect on a nice Boo the first evening we arrived with my Mathews bow and Alaska Bowhunting arrows and 150 gr Massai broadheads! He was 39 yards and quartering to me! It did some serious damage as the arrow passed through and buried in the tundra behind him! Enclosed are some pics, you can see the entry and exit holes were very deadly! The shot may look a lil far back on the exit, but the quartering to me shot was deadly!"

"Thought you may be interested in this kill from a resent trip to New Zealand's South Island. I am a kiwi bowhunter, you may remember you were considering a NZ trip some years backs and we emailed back and forth for a time.
Anyway I got this bull Tahr on the 25th May, used a Grizzlystik Alaskan and grizzly broadhead. These bulls can grow to 300 pounds and are all muscle. Record classic bulls are up around the 14 inch and above horn length, my bull is 11 inch and I am really happy to have taken him. I took 3 Tahr on the trip all with Grizzlystik arrows, and our party of 4 hunters took 6 Tahr for the trip."
