Whitetail Adrenaline's FOC Filled Quiver
Wondering What Whitetail Adrenaline Has in Their Quiver?
Words of Shiff! Preparing for Battle
It’s difficult to one size fit all broadheads in terms of the best for all scenarios, bow types, arrow weights, game species, shot angles - the list carries on… Over the years we’ve found for compounds, whitetails, and situations we get in - for most scenarios it’s hard to beat the results we’ve gotten with a 125gr Silver Flame XL. It’s a 1.5” one blade that has gone through every shoulder bone we’ve hit. It’s a good blend of penetration depth and width.
However, there is a place in the quiver for a 350 grain Ashby head. The reason (not deer bones), heavy weeds en route while the arrow travels - it can destroy accuracy due to deviation. Though difficult to test, more point weight mass will have less deviation on impact with weeds.
There’s also 2 places in Chancy’s quiver for the big brother 200 gr. XXL Silver flame, cutting a width of 1.75”. Surprisingly, the drop is not that significant to 30 yards, and the broadhead will cut more width. Chancy hasn’t lost a deer yet with the XL as well as several animals in Africa. Penetration also hasn’t been an issue, so it’s time to go wider. We considered this a couple of years back, but he shoots a lot of deer quartering, too, so we wanted to see real-life shoulder bone hits a bit before going wider. We haven’t seen anything that concerns us with this decision. His quiver will have a couple 125 gr. XLs in the quiver for longer range, should that situation arise.
His actual arrow is a grizzlystik 240 spine tapered shaft, which works exceptionally for fixed blade heads due to the spine stiffness and tapered stiffness that reduces flex near the head. A stiff arrow is also advantageous for bone hits, it becomes less of a spring on impact and instead drives more energy forward. As bowhunters, we try and check the most boxes for our individual needs, those needs vary for different archers. This is a brief expansion on why we use what we do - there’s often no time in many of our situations to second guess the equipment. This leads to performance anxiety, this is not an advantage in the field
