50lb Bow

“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.
