650 Challenge Black Bear

Congratulations to Roy Mackey on his 650 Challenge Black Bear. Roy shared a bit of his story with us: "Garrett, thought I'd send you a photo of my Alberta black bear I shot this May. Recently decided to take the 650 challenge, I've always shot a heavy arrow, but decided to take it to the next level. After reading what Ashby said about the lighter weight bows it made sense, especially for us more "mature" Bowhunters, where bow weight is a real issue. I used the GrizzlyStik Momentum 330 shafts, total arrow weight turned out to be 665 gr. Shot was from 12 yards, arrow didn't slow down on pass through, buried up in a tree root on his opposite side. He let out a big grunt, spun around and just looked, not knowing what had just happened. He decided something wasn't quite right and just started walking away. He made it 23 steps then collapsed. He squared 6' 8" and green scored 18 5/16" PY, very pleased. Thanks for a great product." Roy Mackey
