950 grains = Overkill? - "I switched several years ago to GrizzlyStik because I was getting ready for a pair of African safaris. After testing, I selected the Momentum tapered arrows built to 950 grains with a 315 Ashby broadhead upfront. Over both safaris, I had 9 consecutive one shot kills on giraffe, lion, eland, kudu and other plains game. After returning home, I started to openly wonder if I could us the same 950 grain system on elk and whitetails? Would it be fast enough? Could I shoot far enough? Would my bowhunting friends think I'm crazy? Well I'm happy to report I'm not the crazy one, light/speed freaks are. My arrows pass through everything I shoot at. There really is no such thing as overkill. Just putting animals down faster and more ethically." - Mick Cheshire |
