Target the Shoulder?

Target the Shoulder? - "I was black bear hunting in northern Saskatchewan with my new 650gr setup, 240 spine, 28 inch length arrows tipped with the new Alaskan 200’s, shooting 65lbs with my new Hoyt Helix.

My intention was to try and shoot a bear quartered to me so I could shoot the shoulder to test the new setup. The last night I had a boar come in and offer me just that. Little did I realize that as he had his head stuck down in a hole that his shoulders were pushed up higher than normal.

I took the shot and as it turns out he wasn’t quartered toward me as much as I thought. The arrow went through the shoulder, through the spine and through the opposite shoulder and was only 1/2 an inch from coming out the opposite side. Incredible!! My old 400gr arrow setup would have never done that. After recovering the broadhead out of the bear it was unharmed and still razor sharp.

These TDT arrows are the real deal. My guide said he is switching and telling all hunters who ask what to shoot, to shoot GrizzlyStik’s." - Steve Calton
