Illinois White Tail Pass Through

"Hello GrizzlyStik, I (Roland Adams) recently asked for advice regarding arrows and broad heads for large North American whitetail and ended up purchasing the Momentum 28 1/2" 330's with 195 grains up front (20 grain added weight plus a 175 grain Maasai broad head), a total overall weight of 615 grains with over 21% weight forward! They flew great! At the last minute, my Son had a change of heart and shot my practice arrow and was impressed that the trajectory loss was not any different up to 30 yds and not much different at 40 yds! So, what's a father to do? I shared my Grizzlystiks with him for our Illinois trophy hunt. The photo was my Son's (Ryan's) mature Illinois buck taken November 20th (two days ago ) which he insisted the arrow & broad head be shown in his picture! "The arrow Blew thru him," he said! The buck ran up the hill 30 yds, turned to look back, then fell over dead! The arrow not only passed thru the 260 lb buck but buried 3/4's the length of the arrow in the ground! I did not have any mature bucks give me an opportunity for a shot, but we were surely impressed with this combination. Just thought you'd like to hear a little feedback."Roland & Ryan Adams Belle Chasse La.

Biggest Buck to Date!

It was a calm morning with no wind. Very cold 15 degrees. I went early in the morning into the timber to climb up my treestand. He came by my treestand 20 minutes into legal light. I shot him at 20 yards broadside. I watched him for about 10 minutes before I shot him. Couldn’t have been a better way[...]
