“50# Bow = Down In 24 Seconds" – We often get asked if heavy, high FOC arrows are a fit for bowhunters with short draws and/or shooting lighter poundage bows. As seen in the video, we have found it’s even more important for these bowhunters to maximize arrow weight and FOC to gain effective and lethal penetration.
Kristin Holt used a Mathews Jewel set to 50# @ 22.5” draw for her first archery elk hunt. We outfitted her with our 650 grain (all in) GrizzlyStikMomentum tapered arrows tipped with 200 grain Maasai single bevel broadheads. Her arrow system had a 26% FOC and it put this New Mexico bull down in just 24 seconds.
I switched to the 650 system and all I can say is wow. I just killed another elk in gold beach Oregon. Full pass through and my other arrow angled and broke only because he hit the ground and snapped it.
This is actually the first animal she has ever harvested with her bow and the first time she has ever come to full draw on an animal. She had about a 15 yard shot and the cow only went about 30 yds.
44 yards with the grizzlystik 650 setup and a 200 grain masai broadhead blew straight through the entrance shoulder and exited the left chest of this bull he went 200 yards and piled up.
