"This is a very special buck for me. I am not a trophy hunter - I am a hunter/gatherer. He presented himself to me and I made the decision to take the shot. It is a serious thing, taking a life. I am grateful for this deer, the meat, the experience, the lessons, and the sacrifice. Sometimes things work out as you hoped they would, sometimes they don't. This time, for me, things worked out beautifully and many healthy meals will follow. I am convinced that the GrizzlyStik arrows and broadheads were the reason I was able to harvest this buck. The shot ended up being too far back, but the 650 grain arrow gave me great penetration and the razor sharp broadhead caused massive internal damage. He traveled less than 100 yards before expiring. I am grateful to Dr. Ed Ashby for all his research - his research convinced me to shoot 650 grain arrows (even from a 50# longbow) and sharp single bevel broadheads. That combination of heavy arrow and single bevel broadheads has increased my success rate and shortened the blood trails tremendously. Check out Ashby's top 12 penetration enhancements here. My heart-felt thanks to GrizzlyStik and Dr. Ed Ashby - I am so proud to be part of the team!" Todd Smith Bow: GrizzlyStik QN2 - All carbon longbow. Arrow: GrizzlyStik Momentum TDT 550 - Thin diameter full length tapered carbon arrows. Coming soon... Broadhead: GrizzlyStik 200 grain Maasai - Single bevel broadheads.
