650 Grain Case Study

650 Grain Case Study - "My first day of hunting, I was provided an opportunity to target a cull buffalo from the herd that had been a problem in the concession. The PH called him ‘Cheeky from the Waterberg’ because he had charged hunters at lodge sitting around fire at night. The Outfitter and PH were confident the archery set up would work due to having clients shoot GrizzlyStik in past.The shot was on the ground at 28 yards (with PH in backup with big borerifle in case Cheeky or the other members of herd charged). Cheeky was on backside of heard to our right. As we circled to the right the Cape Buffalo between us and Cheeky slid back into the heard, leaving him on perimeter but facing towards us. We then circled counter clockwise to get broadside as far as we could without upsetting a giant 40” Cape buffalo to our left. Fortunately the PH slid between myself and that particularly nasty Cape Buffalo so I could focus on Cheeky. At 28 yards, put the pin behind the shoulder and left the GrizzlyStik fly. Fortunately Cheeky ran directly to our right and wheeled away from us after being hit. As he turned, we could see the yellow fletching buried to the nock and blood squirting out of both sides. Later found him about 200 yards from shot location. As you can see, the 650 system worked as advertised. The Maasai 200 broadhead completely cut through (not around) the rib bones on BOTH sides. I know you recommend 950 for buffalo but as you can see the 650 worked on this guy. The arrow was fully penetrated but the broadside end broke off on far side at some point. I just love your products and the performance I get from them!" - Rone Reed
