Here are two super Asiatic buffalo our friend Steve Coale took in Australia with the forged one-piece Ashby 315 grain broadheads. Total arrow weight was 1156 grains and the arrows were traveling at ~200fps off an 80# bow; both shots were complete pass throughs. Congratulations Steve!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"This is a tiny slice of what it looks like where we hunted in New Mexico. I was fortunate to help Rick Siegert a nice bull with a Silver Flame." Mark James

 

 

 

 

"Ed/Garrett - I use the 125 grain left bevel Samurai and I just returned from hunting in MT, TX and NM over the past month and got a nice elk and black bear while my wife got a whitetail. I got full penetration on my elk and a shattered rib on entry and a splintered rib on the exit side and bear was a complete pass through. The top broadhead in the pic was from the bear and the bottom from the elk. Elk and bear pics are attached also. " Rob Neilson

 

 

 

"Ed, Shot him this morning with a GrizzlyStik Momentum and 150 gr. Samarai broadhead, 39 yds, complete pass through, it fractured ribs going in and out the other side. He went 45yds and died. What a morning, thanks again for the great arrows and razor sharp broadheads. I'll send photos of the wounds and ribs later." Dan Burr

 

 

 

"Hi Ed. Everything worked great. I just want to thank you for all your help and time." Kevin Grenier

Kevin used a 60# Matthews, and an Alaskan tipped with a 150 gr. Samurai for a total arrow weight of 612 grains. The shot was 20 yards and the recovery was only 15 yards! Nice shot Kevin! Thanks for sharing.

 

 

 

"Ed Garrett and Todd,

As you know I'll be doing archery hunts here in WY and in New Mexico this September and again will insist my guys use your broadheads. All my hunters have been privy to the remarkable success we've experienced since I "stumbled" onto your company just 3 seasons back. I have been doing this a longgg time and i know stuff can and does go wrong from time to time BUT I and sooo thrilled at the OBVIOUS difference your equipment has made on my/ our hunts. Veryyyyyyy cool for me and all of us!

My apology for the delay in getting this story and photos to you. Here's Rode Walker's hunt and pics from his 2011 bear hunt:

“The Quest for ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE - Rode Walker takes his archery gear to the next level and achieves continued success with Alaska Bowhunting Supply in 2011!”

By now you’re quite familiar with my good friend Rode Walker (A.K.A “Bonehead” on your Single Bevel Broadhead page). Rode, being my 1st friend and hunter to use your equipment was successful in 2009 & 2010 in taking 2 very nice bull elk with me in Wyoming with the use of your 100 grain Maasai broadheads (both hunts featured on your Field Photos- Big Big Game page). I have begun encouraging Rode and many other hunters who now use your broadheads to increase their overall arrow weight and FOC. One might beg the question, “If hunters like Rode have been consistently effective with their set-up, why mess with success?”

The answer: When we don’t make the perfect shot and still recover game!

“I took this black bear in Saskatchewan, Canada May 31, 2011 at 23 yards using a heavier set-up than I had used on my 2009 and 2010 bull elk hunts. This go ‘round I deployed a Maasai 150 tipped GrizzlyStik Alaskan Arrows, versus the 100 grain Maasai and skinny/ lighter shafts I used on my past 2 elk hunts (successfully, I might add!) and am glad I did. The heavier combo broke the bruin’s back instantly dropping him in his tracks AND was sticking out 8 inches on the exit side! A good example of when we don’t make the perfect shot and still recover game. Thanks guys for helping me with this AWESOME new combination!” Rode Walker-Fredericksburg, TX

So there you go. Another tremendous hunt, clean kill and an extremely pleased hunter. Thank you AGAIN and AGAIN for providing me, my friends and hunting clients with the best archery equipment on the planet! (And check it out: Rode is taking it yet another step further by ordering your new Momentum Arrows. One smart dude that Mr. Walker! You can anticipate more stories of bowhunting success from our campfire.)" Mark James PHG, Professional Hunter-Guide & Sculptor

 

 

 

"Ya'll asked me to send photo's. Well here is my first Elk ever with a bow. Got him last Tuesday, 30 August 11, around 19:00. I am very thankful I was using the Silver Flame XL 125 Grain broadheads. He did not run far, about 70 yds. Shot him at 45 yds broadside. Great product!! Went right through the elk and punched out a rib on the other side. Thanks again for the help in acquiring the Silver Flame broadheads." Dwain F. Hudson Jr.

 

 

 

"I shot this elk at 9 yards with a Sitka arrow. I probably need to stop using your arrows my wife is tired of me mounting all the animals! Give me a call when you get time I have to get some more Shafts ordered for deer season , I know that the arrows will be over kill but that's ok! " Chris Parrino

 

 

 

"See the results of my Tule Elk hunt below. 50 yard shot, quartering towards me from the left. Arrow was a GrizzlyStik Momentum U-FOC 6580 and a 200 grain Maasai single bevel broadhead. it entered the vitals on his right side and exited farther back on his body on his left. You can see the arrow in the photo. He immediately dropped his head, slowly walked about 60 yards, stood for about 3 minutes and dropped.

This is an excellent Tule Elk, as you may know. Not sure how he will score, but the P&Y best is (I believe) 312 5/8. I couldn't be happier. Thank you!"

Thanks for your guidance! Bill Gaines

 

 

 

We arrived in Plaster Rock New Brunswick Canada on Sunday to check in at the lodge at Lawrence Dyer and Son’s Outfitting Service with Danny Dyer as our host. After the usual exchange of greeting to the host as well as the other guests it was time to prepare for the upcoming hunt which starts on Monday. We all spent our share of time on the range getting everything right after the trip to camp.

www.dyeroutfitters.com

 

At the range the discussion was about the GrizzlyStik arrows and the Ashby 315. I referred to the article “Speed Kills” on the Alaskan Bowhunting Supply website. The other hunters were amazed at the performance and un-noticeable difference in speed of the arrow. We in fact did an experiment. We set my Nikon D80 ISO Sensitivity up to 1600 to attempt to capture the arrow at release. We could not get it done. Shooting the Mathews Drenalin set @ 70# we could not capture the arrow at release. I also stager my Fusion vanes on the white wrap to create the illusion of length without weight and it aids in fighting the wind because they are still just 2” long.

Monday, first day of the hunt. I spent my first day on stand and was pleasantly surprised to have an almost constant steam of bears coming to the bait. Though they were the same three yearling bears it was constant. I did not see any shooter bears this first evening but I was satisfied with the evenings hunt. Dusk turned to darkness and Todd Daye my guide was there to pick me up promptly at 1010 PM UDT. Tuesdays hunt was similar to Mondays with a few exceptions. The bears were bigger and they stayed on the bait longer. From about 6 PM until 945 PM it was constant again with bears being bears. At approximately 940-950 PM by my watch a very large bear entered the bait area. The following is the account of what happened next. I shot the bear on Tuesday evening at dusk with my Mathews Drenalin Bow, Alaska Bowhunters Supply GrizzlyStiks Safari arrows and the Ashby 315 SS Broad Heads. I waited as long as I could for the bear to turn broadside. The Bear was facing me quartering slightly to the right. I had to make a decision as the light was fading fast. Since I practice this shot at home on my range I did not find this one bit troubling. I let the 700 + gr arrow and broadhead fly with confidence and hit my mark.

 

Upon being shot the bear launched himself straight up in the air flat out twisting in the air and landing on his back. He laid there for a few seconds moaning and growling. I thought the hunt was over and he died on the spot. I was wrong.

 

The bear got up and as best he could make into the brush. The thrashing around went on for about three minutes and stopped except for the growling. At approximately 10:15 PM UDT Todd arrived and I instructed him to stop at my stand and not to proceed towards the bait area. I reattached my release to the string of my bow and handed it down to Todd. We found the bear’s blood trail and back out deciding it was too risky to pursue this further since we did not hear a death moan and we had only a flashlight and a head light. The next morning Todd and I headed back out at dawn to close this deal. We arrived on site at 0630 and started the hunt. We found the blood from the night before easily and from there it just got better so we thought. We found massive amounts of blood on the trail and into the woods. Then we found where the arrow had been pushed out by the bear. This is when the blood trail almost stopped and we had to shift tracking strategies.
We started following drag marks left by the bear and spotty blood. I would mark the blood and Todd would move forward to find the next along with the drag marks. Finally after an hour of this Todd caught up with the bear. Todd called to me a with the news and I asked the usual hunter question, “is it big” he replied it was and HE IS STILL ALIVE! The bear was a little pissy at this point and what we realized was the reason the blood trail was so good was because we were bumping this bear up the trail. When the bear discovered we were there he sunk his claws into the bark of a tree to pull him past and peeled the bark off 10 feet up the tree. I unsheathed my knife and handed it to Todd to go finish the deal and he looked at me like I had a fish stapled to my forehead. I put the knife away.

 

With the amount of sign we found the night before I left my bow in the truck thinking this was “just” a recovery, TIP, don’t ever do that. So, as Todd went back to the truck to get the bow I stood watch over what I thought was the bear. In actuality the bear had dragged himself away and was not where I last saw him. During my time being fooled by the bear I did hear cracking branches off to my left which turn out to be a relevant clue later. Todd returns with my bow and as I a preparing to dispatch the bear I realize my Tru Ball Boss X release is not hanging on my string where I always leave it. It had fallen from the string after Todd laid my bow down when I handed it to him the evening before. Lucky for me I carry a back up in my pack and was now prepared for the kill. As I walked to my right to get a better look at my quarry I quickly realize he has left me behind with my "bow" in my hand.

 

Todd and I re-group and start the search again. I told him about the noise I heard and he headed that way and quickly picked up the trail again. This time the bear went to even greater lengths to prolong his life. He dragged himself over deadfall, thru mush and mud. To top it off the bear crossed a rapidly flowing deep creek. Todd my expert guide and tracker soon hunted him down and I arrive on the scene to close the deal again. At approximately 15 Feet, I release my next Grizzly Stik, this is a total pass thru from the back of the ribcage and out his shoulder. This really angered him and he started too turned on me and settle this man to beast. As he turned I drew back the second/third Grizzly Stik and double lunged him. Still not good enough for this bear, though dying this most noble creature fought to his 7th death moan to survive. I have the greatest respect for that bear and his will to live.

 

After all that we had the pleasure of dragging the 400#+- bear back to where this started. We physically dragged him approximately 70 yards. Todd went back to the truck again and brought down the 4 wheeler, making new paths through previously uncharted territory to get as close as possible. After an another hour of tugging and finally loading the bear we headed back to camp, Drenched with sweat and the water from the stream we had to cross twice we got the bear back to the lodge for some good old fashioned bragging time.

Avid BIG game bowhunter Jose Lopez harvested a beautiful polar bear. This is quite a trophy for a bowhunter...

"The temp. was -30C and there was a light wind, the shot was only 15.8 meters. Bow 80 pounds, arrow 950 gr GrizzlyStik Safari with Ashby broadhead. The arrow penetration was very good. It was completely pierced by the arrow. The bear after impact, just did 3 or 4 steps, and felt down and died in 10 seconds. Size was 9’1 feet nose to tail. Once opened, we saw that the arrow cut both lungs and rib on entry and another when exit." Jose Lopez

 

 

 

Here's a really nice bull elk taken by Tom Marks with a 100 grain silver flame. Tom hit him once at 30 yards, then he was able to get him stopped briefly at 65 yards and in that moment he was able to connect again. The first arrow was a pass through and the second was really close to a pass through. Nice elk, congratulations Tom!

 

 

 

 

 

Our friend Mark James just sent this to us because he's excited about the bison his friend Brent Scott just shot. "Here's yet another success story from my good friend and fellow archer Brent Scott. The combination of you Maasai broadheads and GrizzlyStik arrows proved to be the perfect medicine for another BIG-Big Game animal as deployed by the hands of an excellent hunter! Brent has now taken a Caribou, Deer and Bison with the use of your equipment! How cool is that?!?!

THANKS FOR PROVIDING THE ARCHERY WORLD WITH THE BEST EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE!!!"

Mark James

"Gentlemen! Just returned from my Bison hunt in Western KS! Obviously a successful hunt, but a real challenge to stalk a the herd with a bow! The terrain doesn't allow itself to great stalks since its rolling wide open hills for the most part. The cows are very leery and don't tolerate much human contact when approaching on foot within bow range. Many many unsuccessful stalks was discouraging, but ended up stalking him in a large creek/drainage and then coming up out of for a shot. The initial shot was marginal as it ticked some weeds as I shot out of the ravine. But followed up at 40 yards with an excellent shot through the heart. Arrows and Maasai's did a great job as promised! Thanks for everything."

Brent Scott

 

 

 

Kevin Veccniarecci with a 326 7/8" Elk taken with a GrizzlyStik Ashby broadhead. The Ashby broke the near rib, broke the far rib, and was sticking out the far side another three inches. Kevin used a GrizzlyStik Alaskan arrow to drive the Ashby through this big elk. Congrats Kevin!

 

 

 

Bart Halverson with a nice elk taken with a Silver Flame broadhead. Bart reports that the broadhead was sticking out the opposite side about two inches.

 

 

 

"Guys, Here's a pic of Water Buff attached I shot down here in Texas. At first I told the guide no as I was too light with 500 grains of total weight with a 125 grain Samurai and a 71# bow, but he was backing me with a .375H&H in case of limited penetration. I figured why not as it is a “baby” Ashby on the front of the shaft. Arrow went through ribs on entry behind the shoulder, took out lungs and lodged in the offset rib low in the chest cavity and broke off. Even with the light set up, no doubt in my mind it was the broadhead that made that penetration happen." Good hunting - Rob

“Eric Rome and Alaska Bowhunting Supply do it again!”

"Well guys, I didn’t think Eric could beat last year’s performance with the 8 yard shot he put on that nice 6x6 bull elk he took with his Silver Flame equipped bow. If you remember, at Eric’s request I had his son Dylan as my wingman. It was to be his 1st elk hunting experience and an incredible one at that, watching his father take his elk hunting passion to an extreme level with his son by his side. That hunt raised the bar to a new height, one that would be very difficult to surpass.

Earlier this year when Eric told me that he wanted to celebrate his 25th wedding anniversary by having his wife to join him on his hunt, I was both excited and concerned. Lynn had never been on a hunt nor seen a big game animal die, let alone with the use of archery equipment. The potential for the thrill of a lifetime was presented us but so too was the potential for disaster. This hunt would come with added responsibility. Skill, the right equipment and a bit of luck would prove to be key!

Day one of the hunt went well. I called in a nice bull to close range. It was fast and furious action. Lynn was ecstatic with her first bull elk encounter. Eric did not get the shot but the hunt served as a good dress rehearsal, one that would help to prepare us for what was to occur on day two.

The icy morning would test Eric’s hunting skills in a way that he could not have conditioned for. Beginning our trek well before sunrise we located a good sounding bull from a great distance. With a systematic approach we closed the gap and began the vocal dialog. What started off as a delicate exchange in elk talk slowly escalated to a heated shouting match. As the sun rose and the hour progressed I began to push the bull’s well established “hot buttons”. At the appropriate time I began trash-talking this bull’s neighborhood and even challenged his masculinity (tongue in cheek). It was when I told him that his mother was a mule deer that he came in hard and fast for the kill, literally.

After checking the wind, Eric quickly chose his set-up with veteran prowess. Strategically, I directed his wife Lynn by having her take a front row seat on a fallen log just 15 yards behind her husband with myself closing the deal at five yards to her right. Continuing to vocally play the bull, I expected him work the wind and to come in to Eric’s right. Instead he charged headlong straight at the source of his aggravation, me. From his somewhat hidden position Eric was forced to draw his bow and pivot on his left foot, stepping back and rearward with his right, fluidly swinging his bow to his right as a wingshooter might maneuver his shotgun, releasing his Silver Flame tipped arrow at a distance of SIX FEET! The incredibly strong and razor-sharp broadhead busted through the shoulder bone burying the shaft to the fletching. Upon seeing the expertly placed shot I immediately knew that the bull was dead on his feet. Sounding off excitedly with numerous elk screams, bugles, chuckles, cow calls and a bunch of other unearthly sounds that I pulled out of who knows where (yeah, I was overly excited, jumping up and down, Lynn thought I was signaling for the bull to run for his life!), I slowed the running bull to a walk as he wander a distance of sixty to seventy yards. He expired quickly. It was a very, very clean kill.

The long short of it, amazing memories of an intense, extreme and successful hunt and the thrill of a lifetime belong to Eric, Lynn and me! Eric and his Silver Flame tipped arrows did it again, yet raising that darn bar even higher! Next year I imagine he might bring the grand folks and shoot with the use of a mirror. “Happy 25th Anniversary Eric & Lynn Rome!”

Thank you Ed, Garrett and Todd for providing the archery world with the best broadheads and arrows ever produced, period! The confidence peace of mind you give us is the added insurance of the cleanest archery kills possible. I am extremely and endlessly thankful. For archers to use lesser equipment on BIG GAME is irresponsible."

We just got an update from Mark James and his friend Rhode Walker: " Howdy, Dropping you a note just past midnight-thirty here on Togwotee Pass. This one needs to be brief as we are all extremely exhausted, and for good reason. Rode pulled a repeat of 2009, scoring again on day three. Hence we did a bit if meat packing today. Rode's hunt began 3 days ago in a blizzard if you can believe that! Day two brought us a few vocalizations and an encounter with a nice 6x6 who came in to relatively close range but in a quiet manner which did not present Rode with a shot. Today my morning began after the normal night of 2 hours of sleep. I was out the door at 2:00 a.m. By 3:30 I located 2 workable herds. After spending a fair amount of time with each group and pushing various vocal buttons I made the decision to go after the bull that I felt I had the best chance bringing in to bow range. I was back at the cabin by 4:30, with a grin gave the guys the exciting report and presented to them my game plan. We headed out the door, up the highway and were afoot breathing in the perfect 26 degree mountain air 30 minutes before sunrise. By 6:00 a.m. we were in the middle of a tremendous herd of approximately 35-40 elk. The group had a very nice bull who gave us a very nice audio and visual show. I guesstimated him at 340-350 B&C. I was not able to get him closer than perhaps 60-70 yards but after 2 hours of giving them heck we pulled in a very nice satellite bull to 20 yards. Rode did AMAZINGLY well putting a perfect shot on the bull who expired seconds after Rode released his arrow. The Maasai single bevel broadhead by my friends at Alaska Bowhunting Supply performed to perfection once again as expected. I'll be sending out a detailed report with photos next day or two if I can. I just wanted to give you the heads up on the day it came together.

Tomorrow we prepare to for the filming of Jim Miller's Great Southwest Outdoors TV show.

Hoping all is great in your neck of the woods!"  Mark

 

 

 

Here's a picture of an really nice Red Stag taken by Mirko Rainer. Here's a quick note from Mirko: "Hey My name is Mirko and I am from North Italy. This is my first European Red Stag taken in the Alps with the Ashby Broadhead! I used a Black Widow Bow 61 lbs @27", Gold Tip shafts and Ashby Broadheads. A friend of mine gave me a few to try them out. I must say they did their job well. They past true the stag like passing true butter!!
Soon I will try the GrizzlyStiks as well! You will here soon from me!!"   Mirko Rainer

 

 

 

Here's Ron Murphy with an excellent Asiatic buffalo he took with a GrizzlyStik Safari tipped with a 315 gr. Ashby broadhead.. Here's a note from Ron: "You helped me decide on arrows for my water buffalo hunt in June. We decided on GrizzlyStick Safari with Ashby broadheads, total wt 960 grains, i am glad to report I had excellent penetration and arrow performance. My hunting buddy was using another arrow and broadhead combination total wt 750 grains and had penetration problems.He borrowed my arrows ( I killed my buffalo already) and he was able to get the job done. Thanks for the help and I have enclosed a picture." Ron murphy

 

 

 

Here's our friend John Horn with a monster Asiatic buffalo he took with a GrizzlyStik Safari tipped with a 290 gr. Nanook broadhead.. Congratulations John!

 

 

 

 

 

 

"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.

 

 

Rudy Evonich with a nice American Bison

"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."
Rudy Evonich III

 

 

 

 

"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

Vinny Barbato with a nice bull elk

 

"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~"

Jeff Hewes with a nice bull elk
"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."
Jeff Hewes

 

 

 

 

"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!"
Mark James

 

 

 

 

"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."
