Wide Cuts For Smaller Game

Categories: Success stories , Mountain Big Game

We helped Josh Westhusin build out 700 grain arrows tipped with GrizzlyStik Silver Flame 125XL broadheads for his spot & stalk Texas Ram hunt. Josh was shooting a 55# Toelke recurve.The Silver Flame 125XL is a 1.5” wide fixed double bevel blade and a proven choice for whitetail size and smaller animals. However, GrizzlyStik does not recommend the 125XL broadhead on hunts for animals over 300#. The bigger the animal, the narrower the broadhead blade profile needed for arrow penetration.Remember big animals – small width broadheads and small animals – big width broadheads.We also strongly recommend hunters shoot +19% FOC arrows when tipped with wide blade broadheads. The high FOC is need to drive the broadhead and overcome the higher drag/resistance of a wider blade.
