Ashby Elephant

"GrizzlyStik, I finally got my elephant with an Ashby head. It performed great! I was shooting a 1235 grain arrow and 102 ft- lbs of KE and the arrow totally disappeared in the “crease”. After the shot, we backed out and came back 3 hrs later and the bull was dead and hadn’t gone 30 yards. After recovering the broadhead it was in perfect condition and still fairly sharp. I also got to test the broadhead on another bull that was killed by my PH and a forest official. In all I shot 3 more shots with the Ashby head through the shoulder muscle of the elephant. I purposely shot through the shoulder muscle and the results were as follows.: One went through 12 inches of shoulder muscle and hit a rib directly but for some reason hit the rib at an angle. It did not breach the rib. However, I got poor arrow flight on the shot. The second arrow went through 13 inches of shoulder muscle and totally disappeared within the elephant. The third arrow went through the forward third of the shoulder and 13 inches of shoulder muscle, broke through a rib, and penetrated almost 15 inches inside the rib. After the shots none of the Ashby heads showed any damage."
