Once You Go Heavy You Never Go Back

Categories: Success stories , Deer

GrizzlyStik,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all your efforts in the heavy arrow industry. I finally pulled the trigger on a decent buck (for my area) on 11/11. He was just underneath my tree and I purposely aimed for his shoulder because I wanted to see what this setup would do. You set me up with a 575g arrow with the overkill 125. Once you go heavy you never go back. I couldn’t believe it. I literally shattered the scapula with that single bevel, broke through the entry rib, and broke part of a rib on the exit. The buck broke my tapered arrow shaft just in front of the fletchings as he ran and as the arrow exited his body. The momentum carried the arrow UP and over the side of his body facing me and landed on the opposite side of the trail from where it exited the deer. I couldn’t believe it. He was tipped over about 80 yards away and I heard him expire within a minute of the shot.

You have set me up with a 649g arrow with the black label 125 single bevel for elk hunting. After this experience, I will aim likely in the same spot on an elk because I am officially a believer. I can’t wait to see what your products will do on an elk.

Thank you again, and here are a few pics.

Ben

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[...]

Slow Start, Strong Finish

Overall, it was a slow start to the pre-rut, but with temps dipping down into the low 30s, what a difference a front can make in the deer woods. Sitting in the dark I could hear grunting, chasing and snort wheezing in the woods in front of me. After daylight broke things quieted down. An hour later a[...]
