Full-Curl Frontal

"I don’t always take a frontal shot but when I do, I use a Maasai 125 single bevel broadhead and leave a blood trail a foot and a half wide........

After days of hunting and hours upon hours laying in the dirt just downwind of this guy, he caught me in a staring contest at 42 yards facing me directly. After 5 minutes of this Mexican standoff, my entire body quivering from trying to stay frozen, I tried my luck and slowly drew my bow. Knowing that my 550 grain front of center arrow, traveling at close to 300 feet per second with the kinetic energy of a freight train could afford me this shot, I took it.

He went 46 yards and was dead within 20 seconds. Imagine my surprise when I saw all but the fletching of my 34” arrow sticking out of his backside. I’ve got buddies always talking about this or that new broadhead but I repeatedly tell them to stick it. I’ll be shooting the Maasai for as long as I can hunt; no reason to mess with perfection." - Brad Jannenga
