Imperfect Shot, Still Recover

"GrizzlyStik, As you know I'll be doing archery hunts here in WY and in New Mexico this September and again will insist my guys use your broadheads. All my hunters have been privy to the remarkable success we've experienced since I "stumbled" onto your company just 3 seasons back. I have been doing this a longgg time and i know stuff can and does go wrong from time to time BUT I and sooo thrilled at the OBVIOUS difference your equipment has made on my/ our hunts. Veryyyyyyy cool for me and all of us! My apology for the delay in getting this story and photos to you. Here's Rode Walker's hunt and pics from his 2011 bear hunt: “The Quest for ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE - Rode Walker takes his archery gear to the next level and achieves continued success with Alaska Bowhunting Supply in 2011!” By now you’re quite familiar with my good friend Rode Walker (A.K.A “Bonehead” on your Single Bevel Broadhead page). Rode, being my 1st friend and hunter to use your equipment was successful in 2009 & 2010 in taking 2 very nice bull elk with me in Wyoming with the use of your Maasai broadheads (both hunts featured on your Field Photos- Big Big Game page). I have begun encouraging Rode and many other hunters who now use your broadheads to increase their overall arrow weight and FOC. One might beg the question, “If hunters like Rode have been consistently effective with their set-up, why mess with success?” The answer: When we don’t make the perfect shot and still recover game! “I took this black bear in Saskatchewan, Canada May 31, 2011 at 23 yards using a heavier set-up than I had used on my 2009 and 2010 bull elk hunts. This go ‘round I deployed a Maasai 125 tipped GrizzlyStik Arrows, versus the 100 grain Maasai and skinny/ lighter shafts I used on my past 2 elk hunts (successfully, I might add!) and am glad I did. The heavier combo broke the bruin’s back instantly dropping him in his tracks AND was sticking out 8 inches on the exit side! A good example of when we don’t make the perfect shot and still recover game. Thanks guys for helping me with this AWESOME new combination!” Rode Walker-Fredericksburg, TX So there you go. Another tremendous hunt, clean kill and an extremely pleased hunter. Thank you AGAIN and AGAIN for providing me, my friends and hunting clients with the best archery equipment on the planet! (And check it out: Rode is taking it yet another step further by ordering your new Momentum Arrows. One smart dude that Mr. Walker! You can anticipate more stories of bowhunting success from our campfire.)" Mark James PHG, Professional Hunter-Guide & Sculptor
