Pope & Young Black Bear in Manitoba CA

Jeff Lizyness took this Pope & Young black bear in Manitoba CA with his 47# recurve and a 650 TAW (Total Arrow Weight) GrizzlyStik arrow and broadhead setup. He contacted us because his 47# stickbow is a fairly lightweight bow, but he knew that if he hunted with heavier arrows and super sharp single bevel broadheads that he was stacking the odds in his favor for a successful hunt. He decided to use GrizzlyStik tapered carbon arrows matched to his bow, tipped with our single bevel, 200 grain Maasai broadheads. His shot resulted in a complete pass-through and even went through the front leg on the far side! The bear traveled a short 12 yards and expired. Jeff was elated and shared with us, "Thanks GrizzlyStik for helping me get the best possible set-up and tuned arrow. The bear will be Pope & Young, and thanks for the help on the arrow and broadhead set-up, it obviously played a huge factor in getting it done!" Jeff's hunt was with Canadian Wilderness Outfitters in Manitoba, Canada
