Bowhunting elephant is tough. Your life is on the line. It is the supreme test of the bowhunter - and his equipment. One of the most important assets you must have is confidence. You need confidence in yourself, confidence in your professional hunter, and confidence in your equipment. After all, what good is it if everything works out and you place an arrow exactly where you're supposed to, but nothing happens? If your arrow and broadhead combination can't get the job done, you're toast.
The 1250 grain GrizzlyStik system has taken over 75 elephant that we know of. When our customers used the equipment we recommended - (if they were able to get the shot) they've had 100% success. That's what happens when you use the hard hitting, deep penetrating GrizzlyStik System. Think of it as the .500 Nitro Express of bowhunting.
Momentum is a better indicator of arrow penetration than Kinetic Energy. Your kinetic energy number is good to know, but for penetration, especially on an animal as formidable as elephant, you need to maximize your momentum - and it takes specialized gear to get you the kind of momentum you need for elephant.
African elephants are the largest land animals on Earth.
Elephant stats:
The vitals are a large target on an animal of this size, but so are the bones. The ribs are massive, and you have a high probability of hitting one. Fortunately, our GrizzlyStik System has punched through and a couple times even split these big rib bones.
You need bows of at least 80# for elephant, and 1250 grain arrows with high FOC percentages. The GrizzlyStik Momentum 170 is the best arrow for the job.It has an ultra stiff spine, (.170 deflection) and because of that, this arrow can be shot from bows that are in excess of 100#.
Ashby Broadhead breach of a Jumbo rib
Dr. Ashby challenged us to make our arrows lighter and stiffer because then more weight can be added to the front to maximize ultra-forward of center percentages. The Momentum TDT 170 is about 200 grains lighter in mass weight and about 75 points stiffer than our original GrizzlyStik Safari arrow, so you can add another 100 or even 200 grains to the front. By adjusting the internal weight adapters, you can achieve perfect arrow flight while increasing your forward of center percentage so your arrow can continue penetrating on big animals like elephant even after the heavy bone has been breached. There is no other arrow and broadhead system that comes even close to the performance of our GrizzlyStik system. By adding our Brass Weight Adapters - you control the weight of your arrow and easily boost your FOC. Here we show adding five 50 grain adapters to the 70 grain insert and a 315 grain Ashby single bevel broadhead for a total of 800 grains up front. (The combined weight of your broadhead, insert, and accessory weights is called your total 'slug-weight'.)    View all our GrizzlyStik Elephant & Hippo Success stories and testimonials.
