Broadhead Resting Against the Opposite Shoulder

"While being a weekend warrior hunting for moose to fill the freezer, my friend Miah and I set out to look for some good old Alaskan moose meat. We took a ride up the Aniak river to do some moose calling where we had seen some moose sign. We made our way into a small creek to do some fishing. I noticed that there was some fairly fresh moose tracks on the shore near a beaver pond. I told Miah I was going to try some moose calls even though it was a little windy. After about 2-3 minutes I thought I heard the grunt of a bull moose. I told Miah that I thought I heard a moose responding. He gave me a look like I was crazy and hearing things. I heard the grunt once again and my buddy still thought I was hearing things. After a few more calls I heard it again and Miah finally heard it. I told him to get ready because the bull is coming to us. He asked if I wanted my rifle which I left in the boat. I gave him a confident no. When I finally saw antlers appear through the brush at 100 yards down stream - the bull saw me and stopped. I picked up my canoe paddle to fool him into thinking I was a bull moose. He immediately started to beat up the brush. Miah couldn't see the bull, but I told him it was a good one. The bull slowly made his way towards us. Every once in a while he would stop to take a look at us. We would show the paddle to convince him that there was a moose over here challenging him. When he got to within 20 yards Miah was finally able to see him. I saw that he was going to work his way by us. so I set up on a beaver trail to get a clear lane for a shot. The bull sounding like a bulldozer knocking trees over finally walked into my shooting lane at 10 yards. I drew the bow back, took aim and released the arrow. I saw the arrow enter his flesh and at that moment this big bull moose fell as if he were shot with a rifle. Miah and I gave each other a high five. We couldn't believe what just happened. After field dressing the moose we found the broadhead resting against the opposite shoulder after going through the near side shoulder and spine. The Maasai broadhead still looked great. Thanks for the great products they worked flawlessly and once again the freezer is full of meat." Richard Ciletti

"Hi Garrett, this spring I contacted you about your arrows and broadheads. I had seen some other bowhunters using your gear at the target range. After having an arrow setup fail on a bear hunt this spring. I lost all confidence in what I was using. I decided it was time for a change, so I took the 650 challenge. I tested the Momentum arrows with 200 grain Maasai broadheads. This fall I was able to harvest my largest bull moose with confidence. The arrow passed completely through the old bull with a 67 5/8" spread. It penetrated so well that I could not find the arrow. The moose went 15 yards before expiring. I'm a firm believer in this custom setup as it brought home the meat. Thank you for your help and great customer service." Ricky Ciletti
