Idaho Grown - "An aquaintance in our hunting camp got just 4” of arrow penetration into a bull with his 420 grain arrow and mechanical head. Of course - we never found him.
When are bowhunters going to learn? Light/fast/mechanical only works if you don't hit bone....and than sometimes penetration is meh.
Not me! Even though this isn't the biggest bull, my GrizzlyStik 650 system with a Samurai 200 broadhead completely passed through both side ribs and stuck in a tree beyond him! That's the kind of performance we should all be striving for." - Peter van Ravenhorst
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.
