“Poor Man’s Cape Buffalo”

“Poor Man’s Cape Buffalo” - In Africa, if you draw blood on an animal, you pay the trophy fee. It doesn't matter if the animal is recovered or lost - you pay. It doesn't matter if you make a perfect shot and the arrow fails to penetrate - yup you guessed it - you pay.

Experienced bowhunters know that the vitals on most African plains game are much farther forward than North American game (whitetails). The bogey of heavy bone hits and minimal arrow penetration weighs heavily on the success of bowhunters shooting whitetail rigs and creeping the shoulder.

For this exact reason, GrizzlyStik recommends our 650-grain arrow & broadhead system for all African plains game (except giraffe). The GrizzlyStik system has recorded complete pass throughs on everything from the Tiny 10 to SCI Gold sable, eland, kudu and this poor man’s Cape buffalo.

Safari testing season is here and now’s the time to start dialing in your arrow & broadhead system. We offer our two arrow test kits in stock, 650, 950 and 1250 grain total weight systems. Test the GrizzlyStik system for yourself and make your next safari - an epic one.
